Problem

Earlier today, when I turned on my desktop computer, my internet connection works fine. Cryptocurrency miners connecting and hashing as usual and I can browse websites. But after a few minutes, my miner fails indicating that there is something wrong with my internet connection. Tried refreshing my browser and is stuck at "resolving host", and then presented me an error. After that, i can't browse sites anymore. But the weird thing is that the network icon in Windows 7 shows no signs of problems.

Solutions Made

  1. Restarted my computer without doing anything: Problem persists.
  2. Tried using the network troubleshooter of windows: Reported no problems
  3. Stopped bonjour still no progress.
  4. Loaded windows using Last good config: still no progress.
  5. Restarted Modem: No change.

Current Status

I currently did a system restore to my system to a point before installing the latest update from Microsoft. Because earlier today, I installed some updates and after that, the problem started to appear. (After system restore, same problem.)

Latest Programs installed before the problem

MS Visual Studio 2013 (but internet still worked fine after the install).

I hope someone could provide answers on this problem. It is my first time encountering this.

EDIT: Additional Info

  1. OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
  2. AV: Avast Free Antivirus
  3. Internet Connection Type: Ethernet
  4. It appears that my Laptop can't even connect to the machine thru Remote Desktop
  5. My laptop and phone on WiFi works fine and can connect to the internet.

EDIT 2: Whenever I boot into Safe Mode, my Internet is fine.
