I have been using my rig with no problems for 2 years. Nothing change in the last days in terms of ISP etc... Suddenly I am experiencing troubles with my internet connection. Often I go to my favorite sites like Amazon or Wal Mart for online shopping and the page does not resolve DNS issues. etc... Youtube videos take forever to load. Or have a black screen and then suddenly starts.
Basically what used to be a solid and consistent internet connection is close to almost useless.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I remain a very basic user of linux.
PS: BTW other computers and smart televisions and phones at my house are not experiencing any internet connection issues at all either Wi_fi or DSL.
PS: When I went to restart I now see a black screen that says "Failed to start Network manager".
