Hey,
Sorry if this post is in the wrong part.
The last few months my laptop (Dell n5040) has been going very slow, iv scanned with AVG and malware software and had no results
However my laptop is now painfully slow loading up from the welcome splash screen and loading programs up.
I run a diagnostic and it come back with this error.
ERROR CODE :2000-0142
validation 11847
msg hard drive 0 - s/n 5veq5ced self test unsuccessful status = 7.
The laptop still 'works' tho im using it now in safe mode with network.
Any help on how to sort this out would be great! thanks!
