Sorry ! But this is irrelevant... When you have a broken piece of
hardware (or faultry), you first find what's not going good before
investing funds into this machine...
You are telling this guy, go out and invest on something that maybe faulty.
So go buys RAM (that may not be easily transferred) for a laptop that
maybe the motherboard is starting to be faulty, like problem with
capacitors or cold solder.

The RAM and HDD are relevant if and only if, what he describe as a
freezes / crashes ain't one but is more of a huge lag with endless waiting.
