Laptop Freezes and Bluescreens with bios codes Pointing to a Failing Motherboard
Latitude 7490
Hi. Sometimes i turn on my laptop and it crashes. The problem originally pointed towards the ram, but then i checked the bios and got the error code that most people say means a failing motherboard.
I need this laptop for everything, any help would be appreciated!
Also, i cannot buy a new motherboard (they are like $700 on Ebay New)

Complete, used 7490s in working condition start at $100 and run toward $300. The boards are sub-$200

Your choice of replacing the board or the system.
