Random refusal to boot, but works when taking out and reinserting RAM?

Alright so: My friend has a Lenovo Loq 15ARP9, purchased around a year and a half ago. It's been working fine, save for some random issues with the camera not working. Nonethelss, it's been working just fine and dandy up until recently. However, there's been a new development:

The laptop boots into a pure blackscren, but the keyboard still lights up. I've instructed him to:

  • Try using a secondary monitor, no display;
  • Press F2 or F12 during boot, no sound;
  • Hard reboot, no effect*.

*Currently trying this again, will update with result once done

After some tinkering, I asked him to try taking out a stick of ram to see if that was the issue. He did, and it worked. But then we started testing each stick in each slot, and they all worked just fine? And afterwards, when he put each stick back into their original slots, the laptop still booted up just fine? Anyway, the laptop worked just fine afterwards for a few weeks. Current issue is: It happened again.

I frankly don't know what to advise him to do and I haven't really seen this problem on other forums, so I just want to know if anybody else has any other thoughts on this? He is a frequent mover, so it's possible that it's a loose stick of ram/connection/socket, but I really don't know.

How could I help him in this situation, and do y'all know what could be wrong?

About marking porn on this sub...

I'm not saying to ban it, for starters! If the community wants it, who am I to deny them their wishes? However, there is one thing that I'd like to be added as a rule, and that is for porn posts to have some easily identifiable tag in the title itself. I'm talking about making the title something like:

[Lewd] Providence art

I'm saying this because too many times I've clicked on a NSFW post expecting something graphic on the gore-y side, only to be flashbanged by plain porn. Yes, the flair is there, but if you're not scrolling the sub itself or if you don't click on the post, you don't see it at all.

Something of note, I think that this is the only type of post that should require to be labeled with a tag in the title, as it's the only type of post that you don't really expect.

I feel like this would just make it clearer for users to know what they're clicking on while browsing their feed without having them do investigative journalism to know whether the post they clicked on on autopilot is safe to view in public or not.

Thank y'all for your attention! Have a blessed day!

Edit: As of making this update, this post has around 270 upvotes, with an upvote ratio of 93%, meaning that after all is said and done, about 290 people agree with me and only about 22 disagree that posts should have a tag in the title. It doesn't seem like this community is opposed to this change, so I ask this again, why not?

Coins: if you shoot them, they immediately hit the nearest enemy, dealing good damage. If you punch the coin, it hits the nearest enemy and is hittable again, which would not be the case if you shot it.

Idoled: an enemy that is idoled is immune to damage, no matter what.
