Hi, 

It seems to be a problem with the hard drive.

If I understand you correctly you are getting the error when you boot system by pressing the F12 and selecting diagnostics option. In case you got the following error: 

Error code: 0142
message error code: 2000-0142
message: hard drive 1 - self test unsuccessful = status 79 

This means that the hard drive has failed, usually because of bad sectors. So, would recommend replacing the hard drive of the system to fix the issue. 

Please reply for any further assistance.

Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
