Okay, so here's an update...
I bought a 32gb class 10 micro sd card to see if that was the problem (my other card was a 8gb class 6)... It wasn't. The card is legit as was the previous card, no counterfeit problems. So that wasn't that either.
I'm still powering the board from my external usb hub and it seems to do fine. I have a keyboard/mouse controller dongle plugged into the hub and it works perfect. I am using ethernet as I have no wifi and that seems to work as well. I am running Lollipop.
I successfully downloaded Netflix and Youtube apps from the Google Appstore with no problem. Video and audio is flawless in both. However, I notice when I install a new app and open it, it seems to freeze. I then had to go out of each app and back in for it to refresh. I have no idea what's causing this. I also noticed this in OS itself. I know this sounds crazy but running an app or changing a setting and then turning the machine off and re-running it seems to fix a lot of issues.
Chrome seems super buggy. Youtube will play in Chrome but if I fullscreen it, it crashes, android restarts and I have no ethernet. I have to physically turn the machine off and back on for it to recognize ethernet.
Sometimes when I try and change the wallpaper I get a screen flicker. Sometimes the screen goes black. Sometimes I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Launcher3 has stopped." Again, I have no clue.
At this point, there are just tons and tons of bugs.
