When I first built my daughter's PC it had a similar strange behaviour. It would work ok browsing, downloading, anything in fact for almost exactly five minutes, then drop out while the link would appear as active. It took a long time before I worked out that disabling the network device in Network Connections, then enabling it again, made it work reliably after that. I would be very interested to know if your problem can be solved by the same method. Ultimately, I 'fixed' it by writing a small batch file that ran at startup to disable/enable the device using Devcon. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
