This is my daily driver it has an 11th Gen intel i5 1135g7 and runs beamng drive at 60fps. I saved it from my school as they would throw it away because it would not turn on because the battery was disconnected internally. It has 512gb storage pls ignore the spoon taped to it. I also gave it 32gb ram and fixed the ram slot from my last post by grabbing another school Thinkpad and swapping motherboards. Mine is relatively new and gets great battery life at about 7 hours normal use and 1 hour on Minecraft full chunk render.

I have made myself a heatsink for my SSD using a spoon and some thermal paste from a Dell precision M 4700. The reason why I did this is it would throttle down to 300MBPS. With this upgrade it now hits 1GBPS for about 2 seconds throttles down to 700MBPS for half a sec and then returns to 1GBPS. Overall an improvement my main test was downloading TF2 and it burned my finger when I touched the spoon so good I guess. Total cost: my favorite spoon. Also no it does not hit the back panel.

I have had this laptop for a bit and I tried to upgrade the ram and it no worky. I did a continuity check on the pins and this one by the white mark and sharpe reads OL no matter how hard I try to break the oxide layer. I think it is a dead pin and it explains the post failure issues. What should I do to try to fix it. Another reason why I think it is this pin is it is a data pin and when I bump the computer it has a 12.5% chance to blue screen with some ram error. Usually a kernel safety check error. Advice please.
