I had to rescue my broken laptop by removing and installing all internal components into a different laptop body, now I can't get into all of the hard drive and the laptop keeps freezing every day, I have to force power off and start it again, please help!
 
the HDD might be dying, check with its manufacturer´s tool

check all connections

check the temperature of the laptop

did you reapply thermal paste at the GPU and CPU if you removed the cooler as well?

Do the fans spin?
