Try booting the laptop using a standalone program (loaded onto a bootable USB drive) that doesn't require an OS to run.
If the laptop boots OK consistently and the program works then the problem is with the OS or the HDD.
I know that the program I linked is a memory test program and I don't think that there is a problem with the memory, (although i suppose there might be?). It's just that this program doesn't need an OS or HDD and also it tests a lot of other parts of the motherboard just by it working OK

I might reflow the solder on the motherboard.
I think that's rather drastic unless you've tried everything else e.g. check / replace ram try new HDD reload OS etc as you could lose the motherboard if you get it wrong. Just my view
