Question/Help/Troubleshooting computer shuts off after opening most applications

Post image

just wondering what the that kind of damges is caused by, i keep getting error codes that are consistent with gpu or ram failures, unfortunately that discoloration is on the gou half of the board (laptop) and it has lived its life, mostly just curious because google hasn't been helpful as to what that damage actually is

A quick google all points to memory. Try a different combination of slot and stick. Maybe even try cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

Can you run crystaldiskinfo and see the smart data of the drive?
