When using internet, my connection is closed down after 90 minutes and I
have to reboot PC to reconnect. Checked with ISP and it is nothing with
them. Where do I look?

Thanks

Try looking at your router. If you aren't using a router, get one. They
are cheap, generally very reliable, easy to set up, and provide a good layer
of protection.

It is possible that your network card is set to some sort of powersave mode,
and is not coming out of that properly.

try to check the Power option for your Network Card,
by going to the Device Manager and Right click the NIC and select properties
from the list.
On the NIC Properties click on Power Management Tab and uncheck the
Option/Check Box for:
[ ]Allow the computer to turn OFF this device to save power.

Also try to repair the winsock:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot the machine and see how long it will last!.
Also scan the machine for malware and viruses.
HTH.
