Hi

 

I've had my Acer Aspire M for about 2 years now. About a month and a half ago my computer started to lose ethernet connection after a while. My wifi works still works though.  At the same time that my ethernet connection stop working/becomes limited connectivity, chrome starts to freeze up and work in spurts. If I click while it's frozen it crashes. When I restart my computer, it works again. However, eventually this will happen again.

 

This may be a seperate issue but during the same time period my webcam would become fuzzy and only show colors like purple/green. Recently, however the webcam has fixed itself. The restarting computer trick didn't fix this when it was a problem.

 

Is there some way to tell if this is hardware problem or a software problem?

 

Thanks!
