I'll have to try that. Would be a shame to have bought the ssd for nought.
Today is a new day. I accidentally left this laptop on during the night (standing on a plastic bag), it welcomed me with fans, something I hadn't heard since I removed Windows (7) from this computer. I turned it off, then on again after a few minutes and it still gives the occasional fan spurts. Fine... Youtube seems to work better: video plays, but there's no sound. Volume Control is inaccessible, it gets stuck at "Establishing connection to PulseAudio". Very strange indeed. I will have to make sure I didn't fudge something up with the speakers when I changed storage unit (gotta open up the entire computer to access storage).
Aaanyway. For reference my main machine, a desktop, runs 2.8 from an ssd with no (real) problems. What are some of your other ideas, torreydale?
EDIT-- Currently on 3.2 live usb, everything seems to be working fine. I will hold off on installing it till I see what else torreydale has to say.
EDIT2: Silly me. The startup jingle works, so naturally the sound works (on the 2.8 installation) as well, just not on youtube. Also did another experiment with videos. Stuck a usb with videos into the computer. Directory opened as per usual, but when opening files, nothing happens (and usb doesn't blink). Menu->VLC doesn't work either. Very strange. Reinstall os maybe...
