Weird Issues with Internet Connection on my PC
I am on a MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI (MS-7C90) motherboard.
This has been happening ever since I put this PC together back in December, where it had a host of other issues related to internet access, such as straight up dropping the wi-fi connection over and over again just seconds at a time, although that has been remedied by using an ethernet cable. However, another issue presented itself, seemingly randomly I would be disconnecting from games I would be playing. I thought it to be the general game server's faults, i.e. Overwatch, Destiny 2, Apex services. I had started streaming about a month ago, and I found out that these disconnects in the game were not random, it was precisely every 2 hours and 4 minutes on the dot from when I establish a connection with the game servers, per application. This also would cause my stream to crash in the same time frame.
I have checked all over my router and general connectivity to the internet, the logs etc., this seems to only be on my computer's end. I don't know how to check the logs on my own computer with internet connectivity going out. I have also uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated my network driver for the ethernet. I have turned off any sort of power saving related function for it as well. It just seems strange that it is oddly application connection based, the entire computer does not lose internet access, just specific points of connect for only a few moments.
I can't seem to find my issue anywhere online. Anyone have an idea of what might be happening?
