My connection works well for all users and devices on my network, but once I connect the FX 6300, internet access on the machine and everything else stops completely—almost like no signal at all. What could be causing this issue? I don’t have compatible replacement CPUs or motherboards, yet it’s happened despite using many GPUs, Windows updates, and other peripherals. It started affecting my main system now, especially since I rely on the PC for everything. My new RX 580 doesn’t fit in my current setup because it’s not a low-profile card. I’m curious if there are any software fixes or affordable peripherals that could help resolve this problem.

I've connected identical cables, ports, and switch settings with other devices, but only this machine disrupts my internet connection.

It might be worth checking for any suspicious activity on the device or its Ethernet card. You could try using a USB Wi-Fi stick or connect via a phone to see if the issue persists.
