Strange things happening on my computer?
I was doing some studying and listening to music all day. Suddenly, my computer stopped working. After that, I tried other websites to see if it was just my internet or something else. For example, I couldn't get SoundCloud, but YouTube worked fine. That confused me because why would one work and not the other? Maybe using a VPN could help, so I tried NordVPN. But strangely, the program wouldn't even start.
I didn't know if I was being tricked or what caused this. Why can't I get SoundCloud but I can on YouTube? It makes no sense that my computer won't start a simple program like that. After restarting my PC everything worked again. But now I'm wondering why things act differently after so long of using it. The errors don't seem to follow a pattern. I just want to know what happened. We live in a world where cause and effect are real. If I can't find a reason, I might have to beat the virus out of my PC. Please help me understand this mystery!
I keep getting this problem on Windows 11, and I first noticed it only started on Windows 11 but it happens even when my internet is very slow on my Roku too. It happens every week here. Here are some things to try: Reboot your modem and router. Once the modem is fully back up, reboot the PC so it can reconnect to the modem. Does this work better now? > So after a restart everything was fine again. Windows PCs run in "protected memory mode" where a bad pointer from a program isn't supposed to mess with random memory locations when the PC has a bug. People usually point out a problem with a driver, which I'm guessing is not part of the "protect memory mode." I am a programmer who works on higher levels so I don't deal with low-level stuff. Try updating your drivers for your motherboard (which might have an issue with communication) and your BIOS, and also your firmware (this is different from the BIOS). Your modem might need a firmware update too. Contact your ISP for that, they might be able to do it remotely.
To update your modem's software, just reach out to your internet company if they manage your rental. Otherwise, call the help line from the modem manufacturer.
