Chris or anyone if you only want to read the issue,
when i open a youtube video is usually during i hit forward or backward on the video, the comp crashes just leaving me with the last sound repeating 20x before restarting. occasionally it gets creepy because i watch dark comedys and horror movies ;P this happen before when the ram died, so i ran ram32 software test and so far the ram seems ok it was the last thing replaced in the computer 1 year ago when the same video issue got so bad that i would crash every video play.
tomorrow when sober i plan on trying some older graphic cards, this one is hd the graphic card is old nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1gb this is not a driver issue because i issues still exists on xp with the cd driver installed and worked for years. if i'm lucky it's the graphic card, fan still spins and has been cleaned, still can open large 1080p tho and no other issues other than this strikingly similar problem i fixed a year ago.
can a power supply burn ram out? i even if i added a house fan behind it and improved temp and kept it dust free... or could a computer just get old and break this way? i am not sure because to be honest i have an even older computer running than this, but this is what i need for every day use, i don't own a tv so it's used a lot.. i take care of my hardware and never recall having a motherboard break unless i built it wrong so if anyone has had similar symptoms or even a guess.. would be deeply appreciated.
as you can tell i'm just trying to fix the problem but am scared i will be beating a dead horse if buying expensive replacements to test...
