Blinking power button is mostly associated with memory issues, and since you reseated the memory..i would suggest trying another stick to see if it fixes the problem, if not then it's either from the traces on the motherboard or the cpu itself. If the laptop has a faulty dGPU this could happen as well, which can only be fixed by reflowing or reballing if you are really lucky.

Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

You have to borrow some ram for testing, try not to buy if possible since the pc could be dead. I warned you

Well I’m not fairly sure but it’s 4GB RAM and some like older / lower end intel CPU paired with an HDD

DDR3L usually has PC3L written instead of PC3. And is mostly newer.
