Hey all. I am currently using an Asus laptop with Windows 7 (about ~13 months old) recently, specifically with in the last 2 weeks or so, it has been acting up. It is a 'gaming' laptop, and previously ran great, but recently there have been all sorts of issues with it.
The first issue, is that my Internet, even when wired directly, will cut out every 5 minutes for ~5 seconds or so, and everything drops completely before picking back up. This must be my laptops' issue, because it happens both at my house and my university, where I used to have fine internet. I'm not sure if its an issue with an adapter or what. it is quite frustrating however.
My second issue is that my computer no longer recognizes USB hardware when I plug it in. I have plug it in, restart the computer with it plugged in, and THEN it will work. For example, if I unplug my headset, and plug it back in, it will not recognize it as an audio device unless I restart. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, with 8GB RAM. Anyhelp would be SO appreciated.
I have run numerous virus scans and my system appears to be clean, checked and all of my drivers are up to date, not sure what to do!
