So my SSD was shot and I bought a new and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it. Now I had no idea where to start with drivers (couldn't even connect to the internet via ethernet) because I inherited the computer. Ran Belrac Advisor told me my motherboard was ASRock 970 Extreme3. Googling that and drivers on my laptop brought me here:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/?cat=Download&os=Win764
Downloaded the Lan driver and transferred it via USB, and it worked! My internet was working on my desktop, however, no matter which browser I used, I had the same issue, I would start a download and within a few seconds it'd freeze or slow down to a complete crawl (1/kbs). Running all the various speeds tests gives me the same results ~30/100 down/up. Browsing is super fast as usual.
I downloaded utorrent and a torrent which downloaded really fast as usual (5/mbs). However, downloading from the browser just doesn't work (above a small limit. It managed to download a 2mb file because it blew through the download, but everything else it had the same response,
start a download, a few seconds later, slow to a crawl).
Essentially, what's happening is it'll allow something to start downloading and go at full speed for a few seconds then die. Right now I'm using the AMD Cataylst tool trying to download my display driver, the download sped through up till 5.44mbs and then I watched it drop from 950/kbs to 450/kbs to 200/kbs to 15/kbs to now staying at 1/kbs and not going above it.
Any advice would be really appreciated!
