Hello
My friend has been using the same PC for about two years now. At first, his internet connection would intermittently drop, only briefly interrupting for a few seconds. His USB devices would stop working before reconnecting, and the display from the GPU would disconnect and then reappear randomly. There’s also noticeable lag when typing, with the PC occasionally falling behind and then catching up. When not connected to the router, using Wi-Fi devices works perfectly. He recently updated the BIOS, but the problem continues. I don’t know what might be causing it. Any suggestions?

Among the initial steps we took, I should also mention installing a new SSD with updated software and restarting from it. This still occurs.

Test with another Ethernet cable? Sounds like a short.

I've attempted that as well, but even without internet access the other problems persist.
