I have a Lenovo Thinkpad, which I bought a little over a year ago. I don't know the exact specs but it was the newest model as of Fall 2018 and it's running Windows 10. For the past few weeks, it's been freezing up all the time. Sometimes it'll go to a Blue Screen of Death, sometimes the screen will just become completely unresponsive. In either case, lines of static usually come up all across the screen, and sometimes there are huge blocks of static covering half the screen or more. Also, if there's any sound playing when it freezes, it'll repeat a split-second of the audio on loop, which is incredibly grating. This has happened in Safe Mode and even when I was running a hardware check on the computer, so I'm 100% sure it's not just a software issue.
I've also noticed that whenever the laptop is plugged in, this ALWAYS happens within a few minutes of turning the computer on. (The computer still charges normally when it's plugged in but turned off.) When it isn't plugged in, there's a 50/50 chance of it freezing: sometimes it can run until the battery dies (typically 4-5 hours) without problem, but sometimes it still freezes up. A lot of times it seems to freeze when I move or pick up the computer, especially if it gets moved too suddenly or roughly. Also, for the rest of the day after it freezes, it'll freeze again within a few minutes of booting up; it won't be able to run again without freezing for another 12-24 hours.
Is this computer fixable at all, or is it just completely screwed now? If it can be fixed, how much would that cost? I'm currently broke and can't afford to buy a new computer or to get extensive repairs done, is there anything I can do?
