    I’m gonna try to shove a Linux Mint distro on it. But if this error happens again I’ll know it’s the RAM and will take measures to replace it.

    EDIT: Seems like the power led keeps flashing on and off, so that’s probably it…

      You can search for blink codes and the model number. It will give you an idea of whether its the RAM or something else.
