A couple things you can try:

In task manager, go to the startup tab and disable anything that's loading on boot. Shutdown (while holding shift key) and reboot. Try a restart. If it works, use...

I had the same issue but simply added https:// to the ip address and it is working well.

Example: https://192.168.1.1

Connect your wife's laptop to that ethernet cable. If problem doesn't arise, it's an issue with your computer's ethernet adapter. If problem happens while on wife's laptop, it's issue with cable or...

Have you tried falling back to driver version 18.20? That was the only thing that worked for me with the AC 7260. If I try any newer version, the wifi goes up and down constantly. With this old...

I know this is a week old, but check the jack on your power adapter for the "center" pin. If that's missing or broken in the wire, the PC will think it's an 'unknown adapter' and lower the cpu...

Is IPv6 running on both machines?

Check your wifi/ethernet ip addresses. What IP address do you get on WIFI and wired connections when you have this issue? Are they on the same subnet? Same gateway?

Sorry it didn't help.

Why not see how many hours are on the hard drive via SMART parameters? Will give you an idea of how much usage the device really has.

Sorry. Read too quick and didn't realize your hub is not powered. I was suggesting Spro1 wasn't putting out enough "juice". Please ignore.

Do you see the drive in disk management?

Shouldn't there be a "System Reserved" partition also?

Agree with Ken.

Your system is telling you there is a problem with the hard drive. Backup your data ASAP. You could try running that check disk overnight and see if the system can remap any bad...

Your "hardware reserved" is taking 2GB. I would look into that first. Search on this site for more on the issue.
How much is reserved on the good system? Also, see if the bios versions match.

If you have device manager open, what do you see if anything when you hear the sounds?

I didnt see your post to/from Sumuria before. Can you stop edge in task manager by right click 'end task' while its highlighted?
