I keep a desk fan blowing on it, which helps it crash less. And that was before I dropped it a few times.

Can you get at the fan to clean it? I have had issues like that because the fan outlet became blocked with accumulated fluff (mainly cat hair I think). The fan would run full-time but the laptop was still running hot. Once I cleaned the fan, it was suddenly quiet and cool.
Of course, ignore this if you are in the midst of justifying the upgrade to the newest and latest laptop. It's obvious that you current laptop is to old and is rubbish and needs to be replaced

I could have tested that with one of my devices. I tested sending a book, but, not replacing or removing one. Either of the latter would have shown the problem. The main thing I could do was prove it recognised the newer devices.
