Default Bizzare situation

Ok here my problem I log into steam a online games application and play like normal for maybe an hour or so maximum maybe 1 hour 30 minutes and then my connection completely dies and in the game it says I’ve timed out.... now the only way I can get my connection back is by restarting my computer and reconnecting and then reloading counter strike source and playing again like normal for another hour or so till it does the same thing..... as I said I can only retrieve connection if I restart....

Its a bizarre situation and I have no idea how to solve it please can someone help... my console says this sometimes

NET_SendPacket Warning: WSAENOBUFS : 82.136.37.25:27015
NET_SendPacket Warning: WSAENOBUFS : 82.136.37.25:27015
NET_SendPacket Warning: WSAENOBUFS : 82.136.37.25:27015
NET_SendPacket Warning: UNKNOWN ERROR : 82.136.37.25:27015

i have no idea what it is but its the same message each time > WSAENOBUFS

WSAENOBUFS (goggle search)

No buffer space available.
An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full.

That’s what the definition says... but how do I solve this


The strangest thing is it only started 2 months ago but was running fine for last 8 months I’ve had it… please help

Hello Kumail,

Welcome to PCHF. I am sorry that we didn't get back to you sooner. We have a tech team with a wide variety of computer knowledge and I am sure that we will be able to help you.

Before we get to far into the possible reasons for this, have you installed any software or hardware recently that you can think of?
Does this disconnect happen if you are not playing a game?
What type of connection are you using?

Look forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

Howdy Kumail,
This error indicates a shortage of resources on your system. It can occur if you're trying to run too many applications (of any kind) simultaneously on your machine. If this tends to occur after running certain applications for a while, it might be a symptom of an application that doesn't return system resources (like memory) properly. What are your system spec's?

did you update your video driver? If so maybe try the old driver that came with the card. Or if you didnt un install you old card drivers you will need to get rid of them.. download driver cleaner from below and use it to wipe out all of yor video card drivers and reinstall and see if that helps the problem..
