online game time gaping

That pretty much narrows it down to a bad NIC or software. You've tried new NIC drivers, right? Some firewall software is almost impossible to completely shut off (I hated firewall software when I was working for an ISP).

I'd try to completely uninstall your security software to see if that's causing the issue. If it isn't, then reinstall it. If it is, get different software.

If that doesn't fix it, try a new NIC.

So far, we've discovered that it's not your modem, or your router, or your cables or your ISP, or a port forwarding issue, and that this issue is contained to one single computer. Progress - slowly but surely.

i was just on youtube just looking at some random stuff and u know how when u get dc'd from the internet the rest of the load bar shows that its complete but it really isnt? i am starting to get this ill be watching something and all of a sudden it will stop and show the load bar is complete when i was only like half way done, but am always on teamspeak and ventrilo and they are still on, i think maybe its having like a 1-2 second disconnection time frame and then comes back online, are there any programs to monitor internet flow? to show if there was like even half a second of no connection with the internet or something?

found someone having the same problem as me
http://forums.tweaktown.com/f16/inte...not-isp-33044/
i have tested this out and it seems when i go afk in any game i dont disconnect but when am actually fighting or playing or doing whatever that takes alot of bandwidth it will disconnect me, its only when am inactive or doing nothing on a game it stays on, could it be something wrong with the bios or priority with the computer?

[linderman]

have you tried another NIC card yet ?

[montiaro]

lol i love your sig linderman but do u mean buying a NIC card?

[montiaro]

i guess ill buy it and report back in like a week to see if it works >.<

[montiaro]

i have just bought what u suggested linderman and installed it and everything and it didnt seem to change anything >.< could it be something in the bios or something?

[montiaro]

bump!

[linderman]

have you tired disabling the "sleep mode" and all such options in the bios under power management

sounds to me like when you are not active in game; the system shuts down power and the system is not able to re-enter the game or get active again ?

does that sound like your problem ?

[montiaro]

nope it dc's about the same when i am active and inactive, i will check bios later tonight i just wanted to post something

[linderman]

hmmmm definitely a head scratcher


do you have any sort of software which allows you to monitor your data moving from within your ISP ?

maybe some clues in there

[montiaro]

i dont think i do o.o its almost new i only have a few games and such so far, iono i'm just thinking this off the top of my head but is it possible for something not to work correctly cause my new computer is more uptodate? like my nic card being gigabit and none of my other stuff being gigabit? in the games i dont lag at all its just when i am playing all of a sudden it just says DC like no lag before or after it, it just DC's right away

[montiaro]

i took a picture of the power management setup and here it is
ACPI Suspend Type - S3(STR)
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTM - 4 Second Delay
PME Event Wake Up - Enabled
Power On by Ring - Disabled
Resume by Alarm - Disabled
HPET Support - Enabled
HPET Mode - 32-bit mode
Power On By Mouse - Disabled
Power On By Keybaord - Disabled
AC Back Function - Soft-Off

unless theres something built into the motherboard that monitors stuff and maybe disconnects me when it sees something it doesnt like but i dont know about that cause that would seems kinda wierd o.o

[linderman]

if you get the disconnect while you are gaming; then its not a power feature problem

if you are hard wired, then you may want to try another cable ?



have you checked your system temps after you are gaming for say 20 minutes ? what is your cpu temp and your video card temp

if these overheat it will throttle back, if this occurs you may get a bottleneck which would throw you out of game if you cant keep up ?


run OCCT (free) for about 20 minutes and then report to us what the cpu temps all four cores are as well as video card temp?

[montiaro]

i have made several cables and tested all the cables and they all work, i think i already posted temps of me gaming in a earlier post

[linderman]

are there any bios updates available for your motherboard ?

[linderman]

i see your idle temps but I dont see stressed temps posted ?
