Hi Kunnaway,
Thank you for your response. Since the diagnostics passed, I would recommend you to format the hard drive and re-install the operating system on the computer. Click on the link http://dell.to/j6ImBB, choose the appropriate operating system and follow the steps.

Hi Kunnaway,
I would recommend you to run the diagnostic to ensure that the hard drive is working good.
To run the ‘Dell Diagnostics’
If the diagnostics do not show any errors, then you can format the hard drive. Please ensure that you have your data backed up before formatting the hard drive.
Please reply if you have any questions.
