a.The PC's IP configuration and cable/Wi-Fi connection
b.The ISP's core routers
c.The website's server
d.The DNS root servers
Explanation
Because other devices work, the issue is likely local: check the affected PC's IP settings and its physical or wireless connection. The ISP and remote servers are unlikely causes when only one device fails.
