I have a Download speed of 140 megs. a upload of 10 megs. and my Internet is as slow a molasses. My computer is a i5-4690 and is 5 years old running Windows 10 so what can I do to fix this?

What describes slow? Are you slow at initially connecting and then resources are okay? If that's the case, have you tried using a different external DNS such as 1.1.1.1?

My initially connecting is OK but if try and scroll down it take a long time because it look like things are trying to pop in and when I finally do my first scroll it's the same for each time I scroll which take 15 to 20 seconds for each scroll.
 
if its that old (5 years) it might be worth considering reinstalling the operating system
have you ran malwarebytes and a antivirus scan

If your the screen is freezing up while scrolling, that a video driver issue, browser related or something else. That used to happen a lot back in the day and I thought it was a thing of the past by now. If you are doing a speedtest and get 140/10 then its not an internet issue.
