Disk at risk

Question

I’m getting this message pop up regularly , does anyone know what it means? Should I be concerned? Does it require an update or something more serious like taking to a repair shop to get fixed?
thanks

You can run a test on your computer to check the functionality of the hard drive of your computer following the steps below:

Please restart the system.
As soon as you see the blue Dell logo, start tapping the ‘F12’ key which is at the top of the keyboard.

Note: If you wait too long and the Microsoft Windows appears, then continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Now shutdown your computer and try again.

After you tap ‘F12’ key, a new window would appear in front of you. Use the 'Down' arrow key to highlight the option “Diagnostics” and hit enter to initiate EPSA diagnostics.
Please make a note of any error message if any.

Have you tried to reset the Optain Memory???

To reset to non Optane:

open the BIOS
Settings>> Advanced >>Intel Rapid Storage Technology
Select Intel PCIe (Optane module with serial number) >> Select Reset to non Optane
Save changes and boot to Windows again.
Open Optane application in order to enable again the Optane™ module

Best regards,

This message kept coming for me . When I actually installed it, it still kept showing  the message for me. Later my laptop randomly shuts down and it was not working. A few days later it turns on again. It kept happening like that. After that my laptop kept making a veryyy loud noise today and again stopped working. What should I do?
