For the past three months, my home internet has been unreliable on one specific PC. Restarting used to fix it, and a technician eventually resolved the broader issue for everyone else. However, this computer still fails: it may show that it's connected, but after I enter a single browser search— even something simple like "hello"—the internet stops working. The problem happens over both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, switching the Wi-Fi adapter made no difference, and flushing the DNS cache didn't help. The PC uses an MSI PRO MAX II motherboard. What else should I check?

Try resetting the Windows networking components from an elevated Command Prompt, then restart the computer. Run `netsh winsock reset`, `netsh int ip reset`, and `ipconfig /flushdns` one at a time. This can repair a corrupted Winsock or TCP/IP configuration.
I tried those commands and restarted, but the connection still stops working after the first search.
