in case you guys wonder why i am so hooked on usb 3.0....
right now i have to login to xp to access my movies i backed up, stupid thinking i was going to ride out xp i used software that needs to open them years ago. i also have a backup hard drive with the same situation, and another with full disk encryption, so we're talking a few tb, and that would literally take me a month to change these files to linux compatibility or just move them off them. i hate that on some of these refurbished computers they seem to leave out if they have usb3, but i'm sure i can find it online. the fact that they are 64bit and have windows7 makes me think they do.
thank you guys again, i had no one to talk to about this and you guys have been great.. i will post after testing ram and old graphic card results if your interested... i may just get on that tonight because i remember this crashing issue only got worse in the past until the computer was not able to play any videos and this is my only source of news, movies, ect i have not had a tv since they were big boxes. lol
ps. oh chris, i did check out the flash issue and found my computer is not the problem, i had a feeling considering vlc crashes occasionally as well, but i did check it out and thanks for the link.
