and I'm scared that if I disconnect or something that Ill get a 2 week ban. My laptop WAS causing me alot of problems(I lost 5 straight games in a row because of crashes, dropped me from silver 1 22 lp to silver 2 46 lp). I went out right away and bought a new laptop. But I cant help disconnections and I sure as hell don't leave any ranked game on purpose, I'm trying hard to get to gold. This is the first time I've received a message from leaver buster, can anyone tell me what has to happen for me to get banned? If I disconnect or something am I at risk?

Yes, you are at risk for ban.

I have been banned 7 times because of my internet or laptop problems, I don't think its fair, but Riot has already said it doesn't matter if you can't help it, Thats why they they give you more than one chance, so if you get DCed no problem till it happens a couple more times.

Leaver buster is a system that automatically "reports" you when you leave a game. You'd have disconnected or been afk long enough to be disconnected. You'd have a leave in your match history and for every one of those, you get another "report". I'm not sure how many it takes for it to take action, though. I believe as long as you are there when the game ends, you won't automatically get a leaver buster report, but your team mates' afk reports might also count against you.

Oh, you get 2 minutes to reconnect, any longer and the report gets sent even if you finish the game.

No I agree with the ban. You cost 4 other people when you disconnect. I was just wondering what it took to get banned after your first leaver buster message because I never got it before. Thanks.

if you get banned and play multiple games without leaving afterwards, you are able to leave more games.
