So right now, my computer is totally wack. It's not connecting to the internet on the main tower even though the wifi is working fine. I am not sure when this is gonna be fixed, but if I'm gone for a while, don't be surprised...
Here's the deal

- Start date
hurry back man
I don't know how far your router is from your PC but I'd first try to connect your PC directly to your router via Ethernet. If it logs on fine, then your wireless card more than likely took a dump.
If connecting it via Ethernet still doesn't get you online, there might be an issue with your PC. Some similar symptoms I've seen at my workplace just means that you probably have a virus. Two programs I use to get the viruses out are: Spybot - Search & Destroy and Malwarebytes. They do a darn good job at getting rid of 'em.
There are some viruses that literally disable you from opening anything and everything, and those literally are a P.I.T.A. to get rid of but it's not something I can easily explain.
Either way, connect it to your router so we can move onto the next step. And +1 to what Houston said.

I hate wireless. When compared to hard wiring it's always flakey.
Have you tried the obvious, as in pull the power on the router and let it reset?
Other wifi devices connecting?
Can you get into the backend of the router (as in log in). You may need to renew the DHCP licence for that device, or release all the DHCP addresses and allow them to log back in.
