Wish me luck, guys

I was absolutely happy with my laptop for two years that I had it. It's an absolute beast: ryzen 7, rtx3080 with 16gb vram. Right before new year's it started acting up, randomly restarting and giving bsod. I tried every way to fix it that I could find here or elsewhere, but nothing helped. After some experiments I discovered that it operates only with one ram channel populated.

So I've found a local service that does reballing and they confirmed that the cpu is on it's last legs. They are installing a new ryzen 9 today. I hope it will go smoothly and will get the issue fixed. Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately, there is no option to extend the warranty where I am, and I'm not financially ready to buy a new laptop, they are ridiculously priced.
