My download speed has been cut more than in half and the only recent changes I've made to my computer setup are a new video card and a new mousepad and I don't think it's the mousepad. I'm sure my system is stable, the CPU stands up to 12 hours of Prime95 and the video card stands up to 5 loops of 3Dmark06 professional. Asus PCprobe says my mobo temp is 40C which seems low enough. I felt the motherboard and the onboard ethernet and neither seemed even slightly warm. This doesn't make any sense. Literally pulling my hair out on this one. My setup is listed below edit: I'm also getting BSODs sometimes talking about IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and the 0xd error. I tried Microsoft's support site but found nothing helpfup, as usual.

Dilatedpeoples28 Posted July 24, 2006 CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 never heard on a video card effecting some1 download, try re-installing the drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 24, 2006 CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 this makes absolutely no sense because your video card has nothing to do with the way your internet performens. make sure you dont have any spyware on your system. turn off any firewall you may have. try a server 2 or a mirror server. http://www.testmy.net/o-000-2 http://www.testmy.net/tools/mirrors.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nos7667 Posted July 24, 2006 CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 What does make sence is he is using a VERY powerful graphics card which requires ALOT of power. It could be taking power away from his networking device causing it not to function properly. I would try using a diffrent PSU if you have a spare one somewhere and see what happens. Nod.

shotinthedark Posted July 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'm using the 500W Antec Neo HE 500, so I'm hoping that isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotinthedark Posted July 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 Ok I uninstalled the old ethernet drivers and installed the original Asus ones I was using before. But the results seem as slow as before. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions, gentlemen? ::::::::::..
