The local tech shop are guessing it's a power issue since I upgraded my cpu, gpu, and motherboard, but am still running my old power system. Sometimes it takes a few hours to freeze, sometimes it's instant. WiFi adapter is brand new, and drivers are up to date It's not overheating, RAM is not capping out It came back ONCE without power cycling, by unplugging all the USBs (which includes the wifi adapter), but it eventually froze again PC freezes and all peripherals stop working, requiring a power cycle to get it back. If you have more than two interfaces listed for Ethernet and are unsure which is the correct one, look for the entry that has the Link Status set to Active (excluding the 'WiFi' interface.Any thoughts? I've narrowed down this freezing issue to occur only when I'm using both an ethernet connection and a wifi connection. Note: The name of the network interface will depend on what type of adapter you are using, but should contain the word 'Ethernet' for example, a Thunderbolt adapter may be listed under the name 'Thunderbolt Ethernet'.This is the address that will need to be registered for housing network connections. The Hardware Address listed is the MAC address of your adapter. Under the Info tab, select the applicable network interface from the dropdown menu.

Begin typing Network Utility until it auto-completes, then press Enter or click on the application name to open it. In your Mac's menu bar, click on the magnifying glass icon to open a Spotlight search. With an Ethernet cable plugged into your data jack, connect your Ethernet adapter to the other end of the cable, then plug the Ethernet adapter into one of the laptop's USB or Thunderbolt ports, depending on which type of adapter you are using.
