I have a problem with my DSL connection. It frequently disconnect and reconnect immediately. Has been happening for about 3 months now. As a result I can't play online games and any other use of the internet become very frustratingly annoying. I've called Qwest tech support, all they do...

I finally have some time to do some testing. Reading you guys' suggestions I turned off all auto setting regarding the ram in BIOS and set everything to the advertised spec manually. It got less error about 1 every 2-3 pass and I've seen it go up to 5 pass without error. I still couldn't...
