is it even possible to have external RAM? or is there some sort of ribbon cable that extends the ram slot to outside of the laptop which in return would make it redundant.

There is no such thing as external RAM. In this context, my RAM is "built into" the motherboard. There is no way you can pull the RAM out. I have the extra RAM slot in addition to that build in RAM.

Do a full format on the laptop, to clear out any software error possibility.
Run below stress test program to see which hardware cause error Also run HWMonitor to see if overheat or something.
CPU - Prime95 RAM - MemTest86
Some brand like Sony also have built-in diagnosis software
