Question

Computer Keeps on Disconnecting Internet Playing a Game

by ImAToastyAardvark Jun 12, 2018 12:22AM PDT

Hi so I'm new here. I have a custom-built PC and I have no problem playing with it earlier. But now it randomly started to disconnect the internet connection while playing games, both offline and online, and it's starting to get annoying. It only affects the PC itself. The internet works fine on my phones and other stuff. Please help? Whenever I diagnose it for problems, it says "Local Area Connection does not have a valid IP configuration" somewhere along those lines. Thanks in advance. I'm starting to grow helpless with this problem.
