It’s a pity that HP doesn’t ship it with SSD. It is an i3 machine with 8GB of memory and Intel video card. I found this laptop HP 250 G5 X0P62EA in a very good price. Naturally I was assigned the task to buy a new laptop, install the OS and backup restore from the old hard disk. A reflow may revive the laptop but for how long? This can explain the screen artifacts and the eventual halt. I have never seen a failure in the memory controller before so finally I believe the problem is on ATI mobility graphics card.
I can’t believe that the two DIMM module broke at the same time. I suspected the memory, but I was able to reproduce it with each one of the DIMM modules. In BIOS setup one could notice some artifacts in the screen from failed redraws and then it would stop responding at all. However this one stops after ~30sec even when in BIOS setup.
The Internet and YouTube are full of laptops that stop during Windows startup. Computer stops during windows startup – no power down, the screen turns off and it doesn’t respond.
Finally my wife’s old trusty Acer Aspire 5738G broke after 7 years.
