Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 5

Hi,I bought this motherboard (Gigabyte z97x gaming 5) a month ago, but I noticed connection issues while playing and on various sites, and it is impossible to see a video on youtube because it freezes every 2 seconds  and I have to close the browser. I changed my modem updated the drivers for the network adapter, but the problem is still the same. Now I have a doubt .... will not be the faulty network card on the MB?
thanks

It might not be the board. What are the other parts on the board. like video & memory and so on.

Is your CPU overclocked, flashplayer has issues with unstable clocks and the symptoms you described are typical, When I was playing with AMD i used one youtube video as a test, if it had freezes cpu wasnt stable if it had none all was good. May also be worthwhile  installiing and running Malware bytes to make sure there is nothing going on in the background that could be causing the issue.also get latest ver of flashplayer it has some security fixes

I would try and find a cheap network card that will go into a PCI slot. Turn off the network lan in the bios.

If the that works than yes that is it. If it the same way than it is something else. Plus is your video driver up to date.
