Your hard drive probably needs replaced but before you go and purchase anything I would check the cabling.

You will need to power off and unplug our computer. You will want to remove the panel from the computer so you can get access to the inside once inside you will want to make sure that the cable to the hard drive is firmly in place and the other end is firmly connected to *********** board.

If the cable is tight you can try to reboot your computer to see what happens. and rerun your disgnostics if it continues to fail you will need a new hard drive.

Do this unit have the features to restore using a restore disc? If yes then you have to restore it using this. It will be back to a factory setting just like when it is new. All save files and added program will be erased and deleted.

Or if it have an options for repair choose that.
Try hitting Pause when system start up so that you can read the boot options.

If not then try to boot and choose the option REPAIR from your operating system installer disc.

Hi, you have one or more corrupted programs whitch are not closing down. You could try uninstalling any software installed since the problem started, or reset your os to a previos time when it worked properly; to do this start in safe mode by pressing the ESC button during boot up
