Start with an extended hard drive diagnostic - F12 at powerup.  Run the extended test - will take about 2 hours or so.

If the drive fails, replace it and reload Windows.

If the drive passes, likewise -- reload Windows.

if you get into safe mode, go to windows reged and export your reg file to usb or install to harddrive folder away from windows, then get a dell window disk ( you dont have to put in serial and reinstall
