Hey, so I wanted to thank you.
I was overly anxious and that was creating more problems than it fixed. For anyone in the future, here's your fix.
So I tried to create a disk image via an old Ubuntu stick and it just kept crashing. So I switched to a Fedora live boot and that had problems too. In the end I just used my other Raspberry Pi to create a disk image and it worked fine. No need to do anything else, except follow the on screen instructions.
I'm happy I worked out for you. Sounds like your laptop isn't having issues with a hard drive, but likely there is a board or ram issue. So I would try that ram swap trick just to verify as it's super easy if you've got two sticks. If the ram swap trick doesn't fix it then that's probably a board issue and at that point it might be easier to replace than repair, depending on the model.
Can I just say you're bloody awesome! And just in case you're not hearing me, YOU ARE BLOODY AMAZING!
I'll try the RAM thing in the morning, but there's definitely something up with the harddrive and fan too. Honestly, I should've replaced it last year, but I've been working around it and using other devices since these days the most I do on a laptop is type.
