Can anybody give me an idea of what's happening with my PC? (apologies for length of post, I wasn't sure how to attach the results file).
We had no internet access last friday due to a techical problem that affected thousands of people in the north of england and parts of scotland, but my hubby's PC worked fine when the service came back on and mine worked for a few hours then went off again. It hasn't worked since (until yesterday).
The windows trouble shooter showed the network adaptor as being disconnected. I bought a new ethernet cable and re-started my router (Orange Livebox) and it started working, but only for an hour or two then stopped again. I had a look in Device Manager this morning and noticed that when I right-clicked on Network Adaptor it had "enable" as one of the options so I clicked on it and my connection came back. So far today it's working normally. I hadn't disabled it in the first place.
I'm the only one who uses this PC and my the router has one other PC connected to it that has been able to connect to the internet all the time. Both are ethernet cable connections, we don't have wireless at the moment. I don't know if it's the router or my PC that's at fault. I have noticed a lot of error messages this week in the Event Viewer (and even a BSOD last night!), but don't understand any of them.
I had a look at someone else's thread and followed one of the suggestions on there and got this, none of which I understand - doh:

Does that show anything that might point to the cause of the problem?
I just about know how to operate my PC, have no techy skills at all.
Is there a way to check if it's the router or the PC? This PC is about 6 months old and I haven't had any problems with it up until now. Windows 7 Home premium if that's relevant.
Thanks for reading, sorry for length!
