I apologize for bloating this thread already but videos are working now.

it seems as though youtube doesn't work now though

update: I thought I was leaving for somewhere, and instead of putting the computer to sleep, I put it in hibernate. there was no BSOD on system resume.

I have been having this issue for a long while now(3 weeks -ish), and in attempts to fix it, I probably made it worse. I downloaded an "update all drivers" software and broke my computer very badly....
