i replaced the alternator belt that broke! and everytime i drive it it pops off and when its off its like upside down!>!?!?!?!? wtf could be making it do this!?!?

Your alternator bushings are probably shot. The alternator is pulling forward on throttle application, misaligning the belt causing it to roll over.
Reset the belt, and watch the alternator when you rev it up, does it move?
Thats all I can think of that would cause what your explaining.
