Repetitively clicking F9 booting the iso doesn't do anything, only difference is there was a blinking cursor. I don't have a USB enclosure for my card, and the recovery media you told me to try doesn't start on my computer. Trying to mount the disk on ubuntu tells me it's unsafe to mount. Maybe I can find a solution in ubuntu?
Open the BIOS repetitively clicking the F10 key.
In the menu look to see the settings.
Use a camera or smart phone camera to take pictures and post images into the thread as needed.

If you have fast boot or ultra fast boot enabled in your UEFI firmware settings, then you will need to temporarily disable fast boot or ultra fast boot to be able to boot from a USB.
How to Enable Fast Boot or Ultra Fast Boot in UEFI Firmware Settings for Windows:

See if you can boot Memtest86+ version 5.01:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
Please see the links for additional information:
Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
This may take hours so plan to run it overnight.
a) Please make sure you use the Memtest86+ version 5.01 with the link below.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
The testing is done not by time but by passes.
The more passes the better.
There are a significant number of false negatives if fewer than 8 passes are made.
A false negative is a test pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
Then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM each for 8 or more passes.
b) When Memtest86+ version 5.01 has completed 8 or more passes use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture and post an image into the thread.

No USB port works to boot up the drive's windows installer.

No need to try another USB stick, I've tested it on another computer that's even older. I have another computer that's newer and that works too.
I am sending this message from my live installation I have running on the computer. I do not think a memtest is necessary for this situation, but I'll run one just in case.
I would just buy a newer laptop that thing is ancient, sorry
