This has been driving me nuts for the past day. My internet seems to be acting up, very slow speeds relative to what they should be (1-3mb/s, here's what I should be getting. Internet is fine on my other computer.)I first noticed the issue when trying to download the latest Battlefield 4 DLC -- the download speed would creep along at 2mb/s, and the download progress would keep almost reverting back in percentage. All other large downloads become corrupt. I've gotten the BSOD like 5 times today (said something along the lines of "driver irql not less or equal"). Haven't had a single one since I built my rig almost 8 months ago. I have not installed any new hardware or software recently.
In a last act of desperation, I tried to install Windows 8.1 since I had a spare key (I'm on Win7 now) but the download failed, saying the files were corrupt.
I've run a memory test, no issues were detected. Perhaps my HDD is on the verge of failing..?

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
