Gaming causes Network Adapter to fail.
Gaming causes Network Adapter to fail.
Your connection drops unexpectedly during gaming sessions, especially in games like Warzone and World of Warships. It seems the adapter loses power or becomes unresponsive around the 15-minute mark. After restarting, it sometimes restarts itself or you must manually enable it via Device Manager. Previously, overheating caused crashes every five minutes while using high transmit power. Adjusting settings to lower levels resolved the issue, but it now fails after about 15-20 minutes of play. You attempted driver updates and a Windows reinstall, yet the problem persists. The network card appears damaged—consider replacing it. For alternatives, a mid-range adapter with better thermal management or a Wi-Fi 6 device like the MSI GF63 10UC might offer more stability.
I checked the sources for the most recent updates and found no information about using the latest drivers from Intel or MSI websites.
