So.... did the cable guy put his hands on your machine? or was he just focus on the cable and modem? Serious guestion, no puns intenended.

If he didn't touch the machine, then your problem is not with the machine....!

Try power cycling everything down.

First, turn everything off, computer, router, modem. Have a beer for about a minute.... then, power on the MODEM, wait about a minute, then power on the ROUTER... wait about another minute, then power on the computer.

These are the initial steps that the cable company would have you do, it you were to call for support.

But you stopped here at TTP first, smart.

Well I did have the cable guys coem out last night and it was a REAL cable guy (outside kind not unplug shit kind) He said that my levels ( ?? ) were off (he fixed that part) and he was going to have another guy come out tomorrow (today) and check the main box down the road. So there was an issue with the wiring coming from outside in . Still can't play though.. Anyone have spysweeper. I have it which I love but I just got it and was wondering if that could be an issue, mind you this was happening before i got it though.

I think your signal may be low or losing packets... The cable guys should be able to fix that. I wouldn't try doing to much to your machine until you are certain that the cable signal is solid, and the cable guys will let you know that.

Otherwise, you end up changing alot of shit in an effort to diagnose, when the problem may be outside of the machine and not the Isuue.

Just be patient.
