Press F12 a few times at powerup and boot into the Dell diagnostics. Run the quick tests and then run the extended (surface test) of the drive -- which you'll almost certainly find returns a failure code. If it does, replace the drive.
Note: the quick test is not sufficient -- you need to run the extended diagnostic on the drive.
