My sister's computer has been acting weird lately and I'm not sure where the problem is.

 

- It is unable to play certain flash videos (not all of them but most). Youtube is fine

- It cannot perform any types of updates on current software

- It seems unable to finish downloading anything (i.e. it gets to 99% and then fails, also failed when using any kinds of installers to install any program)

- If the download finishes, the file is always corrupted

 

I scanned the computer with Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes and didn't find anything. I tried using Chrome, Firefox and IE but got the same results. Tried to update the network card's driver but it didn't work.

 

CPU: AMD A10-5800K APU

MOBO: Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H

Network card: D-Link DWA-548

 

I'm starting to think there's some problem with the network card itself but seeing as normal internet browsing is fine, I don't see how it can be broken. 

What should I do?

Boot into a live Linux distro and see if you get the same results.

I'll try that and see how it goes, thanks

Wow, everything seems to be working flawlessly on Linux. Is the problem Windows then? Should I re-install it or is there another way around?

Thanks for the suggestion btw :)
