After about 45 to 60 minutes of internet activity my connection goes down. My cable modem's lights show that I am connected properly, as well as the system try icons. However, I can't do anything on the internet, it shows this page cannot be displayed for any website. It's like I'm not connected. If I disconnect and reconnect the cable modem there is no connection. The only fix that works is a reboot. Also, the cable modem has intermitantly started to reboot by it's self.

My cable company came out and did a complete rewire and a new cable modem but this problem still exist. I hooked up my laptop with a direct connection to the cable modem as a test and it worked fine, no problems. Also, I ran a DOS command (ping -t google.com) to check the connectivaty on my desktop. It did time out and reset three times before it disconnected completely

Please help

As far as I can tell, nothing out of the ordinary in the HJT log. Let's give your computer a good cleaning as see how it performs afterwords.


Download and install Tune Up 2006 Trial

Click on Clean up & Repair. Run TuneUp DiskCleaner. Delete all junk files. Afterwords, return to the Main Screen.

Click on Clean up & Repair. Run TuneUp RegistryCleaner. Fix all errors. Afterwords, return to the Main Screen.

Click on Optimize & Improve. Run TuneUp RegistryDefrag, which will take a few minutes and need a reboot.

After the reboot, start Tune Up again. Click on Optimize & Improve then click on TuneUp System Optimizer. Now click on Accelerate downloads and Internet surfing to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, start Tune Up again. Click on Optimize & Improve then click on TuneUp System Optimizer. In the menu to the left called "Wizards", choose System Advisor. Note some of the advice it tells you.
