Thread: computer disconnects from the internet every 45-50min

My computer has been disconnecting from the internet and disconnects after 45-50min. I finally got fed up with it and decided to seek help. I have no idea why it's doing what it's doing outside of a whole bunch of free driver scanners have told me I have a bunch of stuff I need to update such as NVIDIA networking controllers and NVIDIA network bus enumerator. I can provide any information you may need and will definitely appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

My internet is cable with a hardwired modem connection. There are 2 other computers on with mine and they work fine.

My friend and I built this computer, though I don't know much about software, that was more his thing. Anyway, if you need anything else I'll be happy to try to find out.
