So i spilt water in my old pc so i thought after a few years it was time to upgrade and buy a new computer.
Ended up buying a Dell Inspiron 530 and shortly after purchasing, setting up a few things etc i found out the internet hardly works. When i say hardly i mean.. i can literally check google, bbc sport if im lucky but stuff like Facebook etc just will not load.. or if it does, it loads SO slowly, at times it can run perfectly for like 1minute and then completely dies after and says my internet is only 'local' when it should be 'local & internet'
Dell Inspiron 530
Intel Core Quad CPU Q6660 @ 2.40GHz
2037mb of RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit
what i've tried:
- been through google, looked for solutions had no luck.
- doing all windows updates
- rolling back to when i first got the computer
- firewall off
- uninstalling any virus software etc
- using a different usb dongle
- cant remember other things atm
basically, the network is fine and works perfectly on the laptop i am using at the moment (which is xp pro) .. the network worked fine on my old XP computer but since i've updated to vista, its all gone tits up.
hopefully somewhere out there knows something i don't and can help me out.
sweet x
