Pretty much.

If it does go bad then, it would be difficult to replace. So most likely scenario would be that you will need to build a new PC.

To be honest, I think you should not sell things that is about to break down to your friend.

Better get him to buy new parts.

A lot of possibilities. Could be too old, could be overheat, could be the solder is no longer strong enough to hold and etc.

Components breakdown but no longer being manufactured therefore can't be replaced.
