My son has a similiar model(about six months old) he had the same. It required a new Hard drive( warranty).
When the comp boots press F2(it tells you on the boot screen) and go into the Bios . Look for Hard drive test( or something like it) run the test. It will tell you if it is good/bad. You can also run a Ram test ( same page).
