My laptop processor died. Can I change it without replacing the motherboard or is it impossible to do? If I can change, then what processor can I put on my hp pavilion gaming 15-ec-0029ur?

You have to change the whole system board which contains
- AMD Ryzen™ 5 3550H with Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics (2.1 GHz base clock, up to 3.7 GHz max boost clock, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)
- AMD Integrated SoC
- AMD Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics
- DNVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Graphics (4 GB GDDR5 dedicated)
Your machine came with FreeDOS. Because all of them are on one piece of hardware called System Board.
Regards.
