It's happened in the past although the symptoms have declined. Whenever I play a game that uses up alot of the CPU, a message comes up that says something along the lings of

"Local Area Connection: A network cable is unplugged."

Now I know that my cable is fully plugged in and there isn't anything wrong with it, but my internet shuts off when this happens. I really don't know what to do about it. I'm running off a router, but there's nothing wrong with the router as other people on the network aren't affected. The cable is fine since I've tested it on other computers. I'd really like to get this figured out.

I've also noticed that at the same time, my DVD burner stops performing at all, not even at low speeds. It says that there isn't enough power, possibly something wrong with a power supply? I don't know if these problems could be related, but so far, nothing works in the place of that DVD burner and that message appears on and off.

Thanks for any replies.

Are you using a router or a direct connection. because the same happaned to me when I was using a router, now when I play cs I just plug my ethernet from my room into the cable box.

I am using a router. I tried the method of plugging my ethernet cable directly into the outlet (I have a cable modem) but my connection still collapses. I have read into other sites, and they have said that I should replace my network card. Is there any way for me to test the card out before I have to remove it?
