PC Loses Connections then regains them??

[MexTechGuy25]

Hi, I have a PC on a network the periodically about 2-4 weeks it loses network connectivity. From what I've done to regain connections I reboot it, or sometime later it gets back on the network again. I can't seem to find the setting to reset that feature or to turn it to be on all the time. If this exist. It might be something different all together?

So, there are other computers that function fine using the same switch? I think I'd swap ports on the switch with a working system to see if it's the switch port. I'd also change the cable if possible, and at least closely inspect the connectors at both ends.
