How are you connected (wireless or wired), if wireless try connecting over Ethernet to see if that keeps the connection. Let me know problems with windows 8.1

I am connected to a Verizon FIOS wired router.  Two computers are connected and the other devices use the WI-FI in the house.  As I first stated, it is specific to one PC, the main PC that the router is connected to.   Thanks for responding.

Thank you.  I tried this and for a little while, I thought it worked.  However, when I looked at my Facebook and some of the pictures didn't load, I tried to refresh the page (this was in Chrome) and some weird configuration of Facebook came up.  Then I closed Chrome and tried to re-open it and it came back "not connected to the internet."  I tried Internet Explorer and the same thing.  I tried my email and it came back with errors.  So I just restarted my PC and got connected again.  But it always connect when I restart. 

I don't know what is going on!  I'm not tech savvy, so I'm just seeking help!

It seems like as if the internet gets blocked by something after a short while, can you try disabling your antivirus software?

I've used Avast for a few years and it never interfered (to my knowledge) with my internet connection.  I went into Avast and looked at the settings.  It has a browser cleanup for Internet Explorer and Chrome.  I still have the problem.  When I tried to connect to Chrome and there was a link to see details of why I couldn't connect, this is what I saw:  DNS_Probe_Finished_No Internet.  I don't know what this means.

Thanks.

I tried your latest suggestion.  Avast is still disabled right now.  Internet Explorer loaded, but Chrome still said can't connect to the internet and the details were the same as I previously reported.  I haven't restarted my computer yet, but I will because I don't want my anti-virus to be off while I'm online.

I'm completely at a lost and very frustrated!  Thank you.

Just to confirm, internet works on Internet Explorer, but not Chrome?
