Did this PC by any chance not have the ethernet port in use for a while, as in did you start to use it recently and then the issue started? I once had similar on a machine and it turned out the ethernet port at the back of the PC had a fair amount of dust which resulted in poor contact with the ethernet cable.

Yes is been in the port for a while before it started happening, it was working fine then started happening all of a suden
