Hi Guys,

new to the forum but thought i could do with some help from some tech savy individuals!. I've only turned on my computer today to receive an error message. I'm not to sure if it's as simple as just replacing the RAM as indicated in the screenshot i've added on. If someone could take a look at this and let me know if they've experienced this issue previously / know how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Callum

It means your hard drive is failing and will need to be replaced.

Buy a hard drive of equal or larger size and download clonezilla and follow the clone disk-to-disk tutorial and provided the disk isn't too far gone you should be able to clone it and keep everything as it is without a clean install.
