The system in question is in my sig file below.
About a week or so ago I noticed when I started up my computer it would not connect to ISP router via the DIRECT cable I use (I don't have wireless for this rig). There's no problem connecting my Win10 laptop to the ISP router when my rig has issues.
What I see and notice when this happens are the following- I truly have no idea where to begin nor what to look for.
NOTE: The problem ONLY happens when I start my computer, never when it's already on.
1. The plug/computer icon on the bottom right of the sys tray has the Win7 blue circle overlaid on top of it
2. At this point the entire computer freezes. I can move the cursor via mouse, but clicking on icons does nothing.
3. I turn off the computer, wait a few seconds and one of 3 happens when I turn the computer back on:
A) The computer connects to the internet as it normally does and I'm free to do whatever I want
B) The computer gets "frozen" again exactly as described in number 1. (This is the most common result when the system freezes upon startup)
C) The computer starts, but then turns itself off, restarts, and does this "cycling" for maybe 2 or 3 times before reaching the desktop.
In all the above cases I am confronted with the screen asking the user to select how to start the system, Safe Mode, Safe Mode+ Networking, OR start Win Normally.
I'm truly stumped on this one. I've never had a problem with my rig, let alone something involved with network connections.
ANY IDEAS on this one? Thanks in advance.
