Boards PC my internet stops working when downloading a game from steam. User Info: mayu User Info: Izicial. The internet isn't infinite.
You only get so much. User Info: Acquire. This is a recent problem that has been happening with steam. You can find others reporting it if you do some google searches. Only solution seems to be to give Steam a cap on it's download speeds. That's what I had to do. Thrive on change. Embrace volatility. Acquire posted I actually used device manager to search for a new driver at first but after that I went to the hp support website and downloaded the Realtek driver from them.
However, I just came across something that might explain what's going on. I use a program called Advanced SystemCare and I don't know if you are familiar with it but it basically cleans up your system like CCleaner but has a few extra features, like turbo boost. Anyway, I often use the Turbo boost so my games run better. I just discovered that when turbo boost is off, steam doesn't freeze my computer. I can only imagine that this has something to do with a service or process that ASC thinks is not required for gaming so it disables it, resulting in steam not being able to download properly.
Actually nevermind, it's still freezing up periodically even whith the turbo boost disabled so I have no freaking clue. Turns out not to be fixed actually Please list your computer model and the wireless card model if you know it. Also I would uninstall Advanced SystemCare. Those programs are trash. All you need is a good anti virus and a firewall.
CCleaner I like as it is not resident in memory. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 18 Jul, pm. Posts: Start a New Discussion.
