Hi Macboatmaster
Yes, I agree the system is old but it gets me by. It worked perfect until the latest upgrade. Yes, I have 20 gigs of RAM and that is what the system sees and uses I thought. How (and why) does one change from legacy BIOS? The most taxing thing I use my machine for is listening to tunes and playing Microsoft Solitaire. I would just like it to run. I ran a suggested utility and drive health was fine on all sectors on my two SSD's. As far as Freemake, I only used it as a video file format changer and removed it. I cannot even find Freemake Utility Service on my machine in order to remove it.
I thank you for taking the time to look at my machine. It is frustrating. Running perfect right now with the 19592 build.

Also, I believe you are on to something when you talk about not recognizing drives. Add to the "Legacy" bios and the fact that the DPC Watchdog error has to do with something about the machine not talking correctly to ATA/IDE controllers (of which i have none in Device manager) For what reason these were removed I have no idea and also, when I first installed the SSD's I believe the BIOS changed them to RAID for sake of recognition, possibly? I do not know. I hope some of this makes sense. Again, thank you. I respect what you folk know and what you can find out from so far away.
