My first tip would be to stop letting crows fly in you house.

Is it the internet connection cuting out or the wireless signal? If its the wireless signal, does it happen anyother PC?

What I would do is move the PC right next to it and see what happens?

the internet cuts out and its because the little icon goes red on the taskbar
