It appears that your laptop's system board cannot not communicate with your hard disk drive. Either your hard drive is defective or the system board. Usually it's the hard drive.

Testimonial: "thanks I will look into getting a new hard drive."

Error code 0142 message error code 2000-0142
My computer did boot up to the desktop, but was completely unresponsive from there when trying to open anything. I ran a system diagnostics and got this error with the status byte of 70. I rebooted into Safe Mode and was then able to open files. I backed up my stuff to a flash drive and then ran Error-Checking in the HD Properties which runs the CHKDSK function the next time the computer is rebooted. That found 2 bad file clusters and repaired them. One was a file called Windows.edb, which does the hard drive search indexing for Windows and was most likely my problem with the lockups. The other was a Napinsp.dll file. After these were fixed and the computer was rebooted, everything worked normally.
This HD is only 9 months old, but if this happens again, I'll replace it again.

sounds like a bad hard drive. Press f12 during the dell logo on startup and choose "diagnostics" from the boot menu, see if more failures relating to the hard drive are returned.
