As you can see, I've upgraded, however, it's cored.
If my memory serves me well, I think I had some youtube video open. Most problems I can see from time to time are with videos ...
If you need more information, feel free and ask for. However, in case you need whatever, please, send some instructions how to get it as I'm not much familiar with all that stuff, :-)
