Short interruptions lasting under a second, temporarily halting the internet and leading to game lag spikes.
Your internet speed (1gbps ethernet) occasionally drops unexpectedly, affecting games like Rocket League and Call of Duty. It causes noticeable lag, loss of control, and spikes in ping. You've checked cables, firmware, drivers, and PC updates—still experiencing issues. Someone can help identify the cause.
I don’t have any other Ethernet-connected devices that could indicate a network drop. The only thing linked is my TV box (name uncertain), which just shows program names and doesn’t show anything noticeable on my phone. I’m sure it’s still using Wi-Fi, but I haven’t done anything on it that would cause a brief interruption. I’ve installed both older and latest drivers, and my motherboard BIOS is up to date, though I’ve experienced this problem since about three BIOS versions, so it might not be related. (Processor: x570 chipset, frequent updates)
Through additional testing, similar issues also appear in offline games that last the same duration and occur regularly, indicating a problem beyond internet speed. My system isn't overclocked except for the RAM, which has MSI x570 A-PRO MSI RTX 3080 with 12GB gaming memory. The components include AMD Ryzen 7 5800x, WD 1TB SSD, Corsair H150i Elite, and ample airflow without overheating.
The old TPM seems unstable; consider updating the bios in option 1 and disabling the TPM in option 2.
