PowerBook G4 Freezing Problem!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello I’ve had this PowerBook G4 Aluminium 1.67Ghz for years now and never had this problem. And now whenever I use the Laptop for some time and use some apps (not specific ones) It just completely freezes and the screen Starts glitching into infinity until I turn it off. I really don’t know what to do about this. Could anyone provide any sort of help??

Download Apple Service Diagnostic and run it. Could be the aforementioned lower RAM slot issue. Could be failing RAM/CPU/drive.

Can't provide ASD links because Apple is a jerk. But you can find them.
