So I've been having this really weird issue for the past week. Recently my wifi will auto disconnect itself randomly whether I'm using the internet or not. Sometimes it will stay connected for two hours sometimes less than ten seconds. When i attempt to reconnect it will reset the network adapter and then fail to connect afterwards. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the network adapter and also restarting the computer but nothing works. I tried turning that button off in the adapter setting that allows the computer to turn it off to save power - doesn't work. I've also tried things like flushing the dns cache (to no avail). Sometimes it takes 10 minutes of continuously resetting the network adapter to work, sometimes it does it on the first try. I have scanned the computer with malwarebytes (all drives) and found no visible malware. Every time i try to fresh start by resetting the PC it will get to about 30% then cancel and say "windows ran into a problem while resetting" or some shi* like that - I am also unable to re-install the OS. Very frustrated. One other thing, it's not the modem as my roommate has no issues with the wifi and my iphone will stay connected no problem. I am at a total loss here...is it malware? Running on an Acer Aspire E5-774g
