If there is any more potential troubleshooting I can do, please let me know! Either way, I'd love some advice on what I should do! Thank you!

Basically, I'm wanting advice on whether or not I should upgrade or just proceed with a repair. I am a university student, so I would be able the 5% off along with the free pair of Beats with their current promotion. I'm between paying $500 flat rate to send it off to get hopefully the logic board and battery repaired, but I'm also tempted to just trade in my current machine through Apple and get $645 towards upgrading my machine to a new 2018 MacBook Pro. I am unsure of what to do and need advice. Seeing the same error occur in a completely different software environment basically confirmed that this is a genuine hardware issue and has nothing to do with the software. After running this, its results came back stating 'Hardware problems detected' and 'Your computer has a memory problem'. In response, I ran Microsoft's built in Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool. This only furthered my suspicions that I am having a RAM issue and not a battery issue. After using it for a few hours, I ended up getting a Blue Screen of Death randomly with the error being 'Memory_Management'.

He also mentioned that I could send the Mac away to a repair center for a flat rate of around $500, and then they would replace anything and everything wrong with it for that flat rate (unless it was something much more expensive like the display, etc).Īfter my visit, I was utilizing my Mac in Windows 10 with my Boot Camp partition while plugged in and not on battery power. He quoted me at $199 for a battery replacement and around $550 for a new logic board. He told me I could leave the laptop there for further diagnostic tests, but I opted against that. The technician helping me ran their in-house diagnostics, and everything hardware-wise came back as normal according to the test. I took my Mac into the Apple Store as I wanted to be safe and see what could be done. I downloaded EtreCheck to run some 3rd party diagnostics, and both the RAM and battery came back fine with their tests. I ran Apple's own diagnostics, and it came back stating 'There may be an issue with the onboard memory.' with error code PPM002. The issue occurred later again, so I reset the SMC again, reset the PRAM/NVRAM, and then reinstalled macOS High Sierra onto it. I initially thought this was a potential battery issue, as I am nearing 740 battery cycles and have around 85% capacity of the original capacity. It will boot back up sometimes from where I was previously working up, and other times, it completely restarts itself. No matter what, the only way to wake it back up is to plug it in. Usually this would happen around the 15% - 35% battery left mark, but I've had it happen around the 65% mark also. Lately, my Mac while running on battery will randomly just go black and I can't wake it back up. I've had no major issues with it until lately. It has 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i7, and the machine honestly has been functioning very efficiently since Day 1.

So I've owned my current 15' Mid 2014 MacBook Pro since November 2015.
