Most Dell laptops and desktops will come with a handy utility already built into them to perform at least some form of basic diagnostics when you need to do some preliminary troubleshooting. Some symptoms that should make you believe that your hard disk is being either bad or gone bad to a certain extent. Your laptop or desktop computer just hangs and does nothing when you turn it on. It may come on for a few seconds, then shut itself back.

The stagnation of performance - often when a disk fails, you'll be able to have some kind of a heads up on this unfortunate fact in seeing a significant decline in the performance of your system when you are actually in the laptop OS (Operating System).

Turn on your Dell computer, you can see the Dell splash screen, then very briefly, you'll see a message referring to F2 and F12 in the upper right corner of your computer screen or laptop. The trick is to press F12 on your keyboard to the right when you see the F2 and F12 appear in the upper right corner of your screen.

May be a memory problem. In this case, I launched the wizard Windows memory check (all that with the installation CD supplied by Dell with the PC) Result: 1hr wait and nothing happens, I stay on the same frozen screen, which offers me to restart my PC. Attempt a System Restore? I tried. Initially, catering to a specific date, without losing any recent document. I started the thing, frozen screen, during 45min. In a second time, I tried the full restore, nothing.
