Some of you out there are gamers. Some of you might, at some point, hit that blue screen of death. This is the stuff to do when you have those issues. I hope it can help you, or anyone you love, should they need. As always feel free to comment any tips below in the comment section, any time! ❤
- Disable IPv6 and switch to IPv4. You need to disable IPv6 on all nontunnel interfaces. In order to disable IPv6, try the following links: Advanced or Easy mode.
Scroll down a little. Under “Automatically disable or re-enable IPv6 or its components” you will see “Disable IPv6". Click the blue download button under it, run it and you are good to go.
2. Then disable the Teredo Tunneling interface because it might cause connection problems and you might experience problems even after disabling IPv6. Here’s how to disable the interface:
A. Open Start Menu.
B. Type cmd and run it with administrator permissions (right click and select run as admin).
C. Type the following command:
netsh interface teredo set state disabled and hit Enter.
- You can copy, to paste you need to right click and paste into cmd.
3. Your game might be using the integrated graphics card on your PC, instead of the dedicated one. Here is how you can set your dedicated GPU as default:
Nvidia graphics cards :
A. Right click on your Desktop and select “Nvidia Control Panel”
B. Select “Manage 3D settings” from the left menu
C. Under the “Global Settings” tab, click on the “Preferred graphics processor” and select “High performance NVidia processor” as your preferred graphics.
D. Click on “Apply”.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
1. There are a number of networking issues that can be resolved by performing a quick reset or power cycle of your home network. I have provided some step-by-step instructions to help you perform a power cycle for your home network:
A. Shut down all computers connected to your home network (modem/router/gateway).
B. Power down/unplug your router, if you use one.
C. Power down/unplug your modem. Have both devices off for at least 60 seconds, I reccomend at least 5 minutes.
Note: If your modem has a battery backup you will need to take the battery out for 60 seconds or use the reset button on the modem.
D. Turn on your modem and allow it to completely boot up. Wait until the indicator lights on the device stop blinking and display a steady green connection.
E. Turn on the router (if you have one) and allow to completely boot up as well.
F. Start the computers and allow it to completely boot up and re-establish an internet connection.
2. To resolve any conflicts from your network and to clear any corrupted data remaining reset your network settings and release/renew your IP. Follow these steps:
A. Open Start Menu
B. Type cmd and run it with administrator permissions
C. Type the following commands:
netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
ipconfig /release and press Enter.
ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
- You can copy, to paste you need to right click and paste into cmd.
3. Then update your network adapter to the latest version. Follow these steps:
A. Select the Start button, start typing Device Manager, and then select it in the list.
B. In Device Manager, double-click Network adapters, right-click your adapter, and then select Properties.
C. Select the Driver tab, and then select Update Driver.
D. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Lastly because we did so many changes, perform a clean boot to ensure no unwanted processes are running such as Skype and uTorrent. You can follow this guide to perform one.
Is it a virus?
A very common, and free virus scan is Panda. This is the one a lot of bigger tech guys (think geek squad at Best Buy) use. It’s simple to install and is regularly updated. If you like it, I highly recommend getting the paid version.
Just download and follow the instructions.
Maybe it just needs a rest
Sometimes a computer or laptop just needs a rest. It’s recommended to turn off your pc whenever it is not in use. Many of us are guilty of leaving it on day and night, causing the unit more stress then is needed. So, turn it off. Let it sit for a few days, a week, or a month. Then, come back and try again.
If none of the above works it might be a hardware issue, you can look into getting your GPU or RAM fixed. You can also contact your internet provider, as it may be an issue on their end.
That’s all folks! May the odds be ever in your favor.
