HaVeNII7 02/05/21 9:07:54 AM #1:	Not sure how. Half wonder if its the mods my wife was downloading for her game, but not sure. PC was working before I went to work. Was not when I came home. Every time I log onto anything...I cant connect. Its a DNS issue, as far as chrome tells me. DNS_PROBE_STARTED DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET Except, I can connect on every device except my PC. I definitely have Internet, and even had my ISP do a reset. Then I... Reinstalled my drivers. Nope. Flushed my DNS via CMD. Nope. Tried a custom DNS instead of auto. Nope. Tried a custom boot, where I disabled all of my startup items. Nope. Booted in safe mode with networking. YES. Thats the only progress Ive been able to make. In safe mode, it works properly, with no DNS errors. So, I assumed it was some sort of malware possibly. Ran a deep scan overnight while I slept. Found one thing, deleted it, but no dice. Totally stumped now. Called Best Buys Geek Squad, and have an appointment to bring my PC in here in about three hours. But before I go, anyone on CE have an idea? Im completely and totally stumped at this point. --- PSN/Steam: HaVeNII7 <cite>HaVeNII7 posted [p:950303821] in Welp, unfo... [t:79278924]...</cite> <quote>Not sure how.
