My wireless disconnects from the internet.....

Closed

My wireless disconnects from the internet whenever I play a game online and offline in full screen or whenever watch a video full screen...

But then it connects automatically once I have closed the game or alt tabbed to the desktop.

It's like when my pc uses more power on the things i have opened.. it disconnects my wireless internet. Is there a way to change the setting on my pc so it won't do this as I can't play online at all

I tried searching for problems on the internet.. but I cant find anything.

Please help!

Sounds to me like your wireless card is dying, you may have to invenst in a new network card if you cannot run a cable to your pc.

Might just be your wireless cant handle requests, time to buy a new one

Try fiddling with the settings at Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Wireless Adapter Settings.
Or something like this.
If you have some custom software for your wireless installed, try changing its settings.

It really hasn't made much difference with the settings... i started thinking it might be my firewall.. I deactivated it and tried.. but still the same... :/

And try playing connected to power instead of using the battery
Just assuming from the description that you're using a laptop.

Getting weirder then...
Do you have some temperature monitoring software installed?
Whe you enter a game with 3D acceleration, it increases both energy consuming and heating... one of those things probably is setted to disconect other devices... Best guesses: Power consuming settings (try denying every power saving options), Heating monitoring (settings) and Networking and video display drivers... try updating them.

Open Device Manager, expand Network Adapters, right-click on your wireless adapter and select properties. Go to the Power Management tab and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

How many watts is your PSU rated?
