Hi guys,

I've noticed this issue where when i run the Alien autopsy scan on my network card it pauses seemingly indefinitely on "Network Link Test". I have also noticed some problems with my Killer wireless card randomly cutting out for 5 seconds and then reconnecting.

Anyone got any idea what's up?

do you get any pop up messages or errors when the killer card disconnects?

Have you tried a clean boot to check if the issue persists?

Nope but if I open the killer wireless program I see it flash to "device not detected" or somthing similar. It seems to occur sporadically - like it won't happen for a few days then one night it will happen constantly every 3 mins for an hour. Seems to be after extended game play too. Tried clean boot but not sure if it fixed it or not because although the problem didn't occur I may have just been having a "good" night and it might not have occured anyway

Also I left alien autopsy running overnight and the network link test eventually came up as failed ....
