usb issues

A long, long time ago I had files that I thought would be no use to me but a couple of years into the future (now), I have realized I need them. Badly. The reason I no longer use the computer is because there are countless things wrong with it. I'm only going to name two as they're blocking me...

I cant say I've ever actually seen my BSOD, but Windows claims to be recovering from one. This has been going on for the last 4 months. This computer was built in 2011 mid year. I've been assuming that this is a video card issue due to it only happening when the graphics card is "intensely" in...
