I have BSNL broadband connection to my home pc.

Since last 3 days, I am facing unusual internet problem. On Chrome & FF, union bank and icici direct site not open & other regular site like Techenclave, GMail etc takes reasonable time.

This was not witnessed before I changed mobo-new Pentium G2030 with Gigabyte H61M-S board. The old one was Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2.2 GHz) with Intel D945GCNL Mother Board

What is the culprit?

1) Broadband Connection ??- But, BSNL works fine. Wifi is just perfect and ok.
2) New mobo compability issue? - Just emerging in mind but not sure as I am not expert. Upgrading rig would not be impact surfing speed, I assume.
3) Union bank & ICICI Direct not open on both-Chrome & FFox. Other site opens slowly. Internet getting slow.

The connection has timed out.

I am also facing some issue in BSNL broadband 1445 plan.

Using wifi i am unable to open paytm/frecharge/instagram apps in my any Android mobile/tablet.

I am using "Hotspot Sheild Elite VPN" app for connecting these apps. I have changed DNS also, but didnt helped me. I scare to use VPN app. :(

Drivers installed for motherboard and DNS changed. Now, works just smooth and fine. thanks.

Just one question, should I keep checking on driver updates by mother board OEM. If yes, any setting to get auto updates ONLY for this motherboard drivers?

If your current driver is working fine and you are not facing any issues no need to update to the latest driver unnecessarily - only update driver when you have to.

Ok not bothering much on updates now.

Seems that local shop technician just sold mobo; not checking even to updates drivers.
I downloaded & installed drivers. However, today, with my bit surprise I found RealTek HD Audio Manager.
I love RealTek HD & lost it in old mobo in 2012.
So happy to have 5.1 Ch original hi-fi sound from Creative 5.1 system again.

Now, concerning if I miss any other software I need to activate like RealTek found all of sudden i.e. without my knowledge.

Pl enlighten me if I am not aware of any other software activation after downloading drivers folder.
