So while streaming a week ago, my pc ran into a Bsod, not good. after tinkering, i decided to get a new hardrive and copy of windows. ever since, my downloads have consistantly stayed at about 10 kilobytes per second. I am completely at a loss for a solution, any advice?

I would check the drivers for your MB and after that if it don't improve, get a new CAT 5E or CAT 6 ethernet cable.
i did end up buying a new ethernet cable just to make sure, but i will try and updat every other driver for the mobo. only issue is i’m not getting enough speed to do so. sadly it’s getting worse, down to bits per second now

You can tether your phone? You can download the driver on your phone and transfer it to the PC.

you can go to a friends house to download the driver.

I would start with your ethernet drivers. If your phone gets 3mb, your computer should get 3mb too. They both go though the same router/cable modem I'm assuming (make sure your on wifi for that test).
