Back to the problem. My computer has been acting strangely. It all started when I randomly started getting disconnected from the internet. The problem progressed until it stated my drivers were corrupt. Thinking this could be easily fixed, I uninstalled the drivers and tried to do a fresh install. This didn't work. The official drivers from my card, whenever they tried to be installed, gave a "drivers could not be installed properly" and my computer refused to recognize my networking card. So I went and downloaded an older version directly from the dell website. These worked for some reason. Everything seemed fine. After everything was acting strange, I decided to do a virus scan with Malwarebytes. It took me 5 times to actually get the scan to work. It kept freezing my entire screen over and over. I had to hold down the power button each time in order to shut down my computer. I tried scanning in safe mode twice, both times that froze as well. Everything ran extremely slow. Finally after much persistence, I seemed to have fixed everything... by doing nothing. It just seemed to have fixed itself. Until two days after (today) when the drivers went corrupt again, just out of the blue. I was on Skype and it just stopped recognizing the network card as though the drivers had failed. I uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers again, everything is fine. I run a virus scan on a freshly installed Malwarebytes, it turns up nothing. My computer is absolutely clean to MB. Try MSE, also says everything is fine. I run CHKDSK before start up, it repairs some files. Everything seems to be alright, but I'm still suspicious. This is a brand new network card, less than a few months old. I installed it myself and I know I installed it properly. Chrome was constantly freezing and locking up my computer whenever I went to websites with anything Flash related. After reinstalling Chrome, it seems to be fine but I want to be sure everything is alright. I feel like I'm missing something. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
