    Just install Linux on it. My laptop is from 2011 and I’ve got bazzite on it and it’s been great. That should atleast get you through the bubble

      Yeah but it’s a hardware issue that’s beyond my caring to try and troubleshoot. Random blue screens, memtest86 shows an error always at the same address no matter which sodimms I put or swap them around. I guess it runs until software enters that address range and blam! I think it might be power supply related at the board level, not the power brick. I don’t feel like changing capacitors at random, for all I know there might be voltage out of spec because a resistor value drifted.
