It could be your internet provider, which is why files are corrupted (your downloads aren't completing).
 
had 2 computers hooked up through the same modem so i dont think its the ip. the other pc worked just fine

Ok, well your internet is fine.
It could be a number of things. It's difficult to determine a problem like this unless you see it in person. Can you record a video and upload it? I'm more than happy to help.

Do you hear any out of the ordinary noises coming from your computer (buzzing, humming, grinding noises)?

I am going to take a guess and say it is your processor. Since it is an older model of the AMD, and AMD doesn't exactly make the best quality.

That is only a guess though. It could be your power supply or hard drive.
