Relative just called... its the original battery and the laptop is 6 years old.

New adapter. Said that it will work most of the time without the battery in the laptop, just using the power adapter.

Ran malwarebytes again under admin account and safe mode, no infections. Got the relative a USB fan laptop cooler same width as the laptop. Seems to help some.

Looks like the 6 year old battery was causing the boot problems.
