Hello! Your mom's laptop is having some issues, likely with the hard drive. Since replacing it would be costly and you're not sure what to do next, you might want to consider a temporary solution like upgrading to a faster SSD or a new HDD. It’s also a good idea to consult a professional before making any changes. Let me know if you need more advice!
I wouldn't consider a hard drive since SSDs are quite budget-friendly in the 1TB or lower category, something like this would be practical https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/rxDJ...1480g0c101
Check if everything functions properly on the laptop. Creating a Linux live USB is a smart step before testing the boot process.
I've got some updates, the main issue seems to be the temperatures. For my memory test, the CPU is running at 94°C. I might need to reapply thermal paste (which I already have) and clean the whole system. If that doesn't help, I'll try replacing the hard drive first, then do more tests.
