XPS

It's been 3 times already where when I power on the computer, it takes me into the Dell self diagnosis screen, and it'll say no HHD present. My computer has the Toshiba 256GB KXG50ZNV256G Drive. My only fix is to reset the BIOS settings, that'll fix it for a while, but it's been 3 times already.

It's specially scary as I use this laptop to DJ, which is even worse when your sound card stops working all of a sudden for no reason. I do not have any special software going on, and only use my mixer's USB as the second audio output I need for DJing. Audio hasn't been lost at all while DJing (thankfully), so this rules out the mixer. My guess is they really need a BIOS or Driver updates to fix this issue, or maybe I just got a lemon? Reinstalling Windows and updating drivers did not fix the issue.
