Did you mean to type seize?
And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.

You can check the data the drive itself keeps about disk errors. This data is called SMART.

Figure out if the drive is having problems or not, then look at replacing it.
Another thing that slows down old laptops is thermal throttling. Once again there are plenty of programs you can download to check component temperatures. Have you cleaned dust out of the inside of the laptop and re-done the thermal paste?
Sounds like you need a pihole.
You start with base HP at level 1. Every time you level up, you roll a die (which die is determined by what class you are playing) and add your constitution modifier.
Send an email to Corsair support and ask if you can have / buy some screws. They’ll probably just send you some. Worst case they can for sure tell you the length you need.
So based on the other comments, I would check the cooler and anything else that was above the CPU to see if something got too hot and dribbled solder on the CPU. Also is the socket next to that drop clean, or are there other smaller droplets nearby?
Your GPU might be having problems, but the other problems you list sound like either a bad hard drive or a virus / bad windows install.
There are several utility programs you can download that will check your hard drive for failures. I would back up any important files and then run those. If the hard drive is bad, replace it. Either way you will probably want to re-install windows from scratch.
If you read the little summary, the test drive was in north Africa.
AntennaPod is great, free, and has no ads. Pretty sure it’s open source too.
Sounds like you learned a lot. As far as the belt tensioner and not being able to budge it, usually stuff like that is a matter of leverage. You probably just need a breaker bar. Those are basically a longer version of a ratchet and are very useful for tight bolts. Usually they are pretty cheap too.
It’s less convenient, but you can just not connect the TV to the Internet at all. You can connect a computer (pi or something similar) to that in order to play videos or stream from. Or an Xbox / PlayStation for ease of use (yes I know those have privacy problems as well but they are much less intrusive).
Another thing you can do is set up a pi-hole on your network and blacklist all the domains your tv uses for ads and tracking.
Check your local Craigslist or other classifieds for cheap old GPUs. Or if you have another PC, borrow the GPU and power supply just to get it to boot.
