  • Download speeds are not related to motherboard.

    You did not mention what you are downloading, type or speed of connection, what you pay for vs what you actually get etc.

    Using video as a test for determining if you have a problem is a mistake. Problems on the server can cause that. Do you test speed at various times of the day? Peak times will cause servers to be slow and give a lot of hesitations, try off peak times.

    Have you checked with your ISP to see if you have line problems? Are you wireless? Your wireless router could be the problem. Try connecting wired and try again.
