So for the past few days my computer has been off and on when it comes to connecting to the internet. My wifi is working perfectly but my desktop is the only thing connected to the router via ethernet chord. I've made sure the chord is properly plugged into both ports and I've tried restarting my router, it doesn't really help. One second it will work when I open Google Chrome, then I try to go to a different site and it will say "Web page is unavaliable" I think it says a DNS error.

Any help?

Creds to Narkwolf for the thread idea and Ronan for help with my original problem. Only reason I am the OP is because this thread was changed into this new one.

Basically, if you need any Tech Support post your issue here and the kind members of OFT can try to help asses the situation given! Good luck.

Have you tried testing with a different ethernet cable? Have you tried using a different port on the router? Try plugging the ethernet cord into a different desktop/laptop to verify so you can rule out a bad cable/bad ethernet port on your desktop. You'll want to slowly rule out the different components so you can find the root of the issue - Then you can start looking for potential fixes.

Appreciate the feedback and I'm sorry to say that it's actually been working fine. I was surprised I got that thread off in time for it to keep working but surprisingly it has stayed up. If I find any other problems I'll try out what you suggested. In the mean time you can lock this thread or delete it because my issue has been resolved apparently.

[Ronan]

I'll keep it open just in case.

[Narkwolf]

Maybe we can turn it into the official internet problem thread

Since Friday I've been experiencing a ton of problems with my computer. It's not my connection or my browser because the issues are still present offline. I've ran multiple scans and they all claim to have fixed any issue. Maybe someone can help. I'm awful at explaining shit so bare with me.

I need to click on something multiple times to open or close it.
In Word or Chrome when I click the side bar to drag the page down it will often not let me click out of it and end up dragging itself whenever I move the mouse.
When I click the volume icon or the connection bars it will usually not open for a while and if I move it the "show hidden icons" (button I guess would be the appropriate term to describe it) opens and when I click away it ends up in there.
Sometimes when I click on my desktop and move my mouse after releasing my finger it makes the blue rectangle shape it would if I still had my finger on it.
Sometimes when I try to erase a URL it doesn't.
Let's say I'm in "windows explorer" and I click documents. It will usually drag the icon and not let me click documents or anything for that matter to stop it from dragging.
There's some more but I want to know what this could possibly be. I've restarted and shut down multiple times and even after having it shut down for hours it still does this. Can anybody help?

I've experienced similar problems in the past. What worked for me was to restore my system to an earlier time. This usually happens when windows goes through changes.

 

Did you recently install any software that could malicious?

I don't think so.
I have Windows 7.
I just ran a full system scan and it found and resolved 7 issues. The problem still isn't fixed though. I might as well back up everything and restore to a recent point if I can tomorrow.

Highly reccomended.

Will do. Also, this is a very good thread.

[Metal Dan]

I have Carbonite so if I have everything backed up to it and I restore, everything will be on it right?

Edit: I restored to 9 days ago and the problem is still happening.

Edit 2: Could this be a problem with the mouse?
