HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I get a memory fault when running memory components tests in BIOS, and the laptop BSODs all the time (every 20 seconds), although it runs OK in Windows Safe Mode.

 

1. Is there a way to replace the RAM (I think it is soldered to the mainboard)

2. If not, is there a software-way of disabling the faulty memory chip (I have 2 chips with 4GB each, and can live with 4GB)

3. If not, how much is it for a new mainboard, and which part number is it? Is it worth it to replace?

 

Error message from BIOS:

 Model: HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
Product ID: K6C18AV
CSO Number:
