Before anyone asks, my full specs are that the bottom of this post.
My computer has been running fine..........now suddenly I have no internet. I was playing Battlefield2, when the game and teamspeak both froze at the same time. I tried to relaunch TS, but it couldn't find the server. I launched Firefox, but it couldn't find google. I rebooted, and still have no internet. When I rebooted, the few apps in my system tray launched quickly, with the exception of ZoneAlarm, which takes a minute and forty five seconds to launch. During that time, if I double click on My Computer, I get a blank screen with a flashlight searching. It takes almost two minutes before I can do anything. It's never done that before......maybe it's because I have no internet. I unplugged the network cable from the pc, and the pc recognized that the cable was unplugged. This plus the fact that the network card shows as ok in the device manager leads me away from the NIC as a cause. When I plugged the ethernet cable back in, the computer is unable to find an ip address. I'm also unable to connect to the other computer on my home network.
My cable modem is working fine. My other pc is able to access the internet (I'm using it now). I've tried replacing my network cable. I've tried using a different spot on my router. ZoneAlarm spyware check turned up nothing. SpyBot turned up a few things, but nothing interesting. AdAware came up with something called WhenU (according to its description on McAfee I don't have it), but nothing out of the ordinary beyond that. I've rebooted and run SpyBot and AdAware again, they turned up nothing at all. I'd post a HiJack This log, but I don't have a floppy drive on my pc and my girlfriend has my thumbdrive. Since I can't access the network, I can't share it and post it from here. What is wrong with my poor computer???
The last hardware I added was new RAM about a month ago. I had a problem patching BF2 yesterday, and had to uninstall and reinstall the game.....that's a possible source of the problem, I suppose. I'd love to blame this on the game!! I tried a system restore to just before installing the last patch yesterday, but the system couldn't be restored to that point. I then tried a system restore to after I uninstalled BF2, but before I reinstalled it, but the system couldn't restore to that point either. After the failed system restores I started getting a message that my system has recovered from a serious error. I tell the system not to send the info to MS (no internet, can't send it anyway), and I get the same message two seconds later. This repeats until I restart my computer.
