0F00:065D ERROR CODE.
Been thru 4 NEW drives since Dec 12, 2013. My original started having problems and ultimately failed the Smart Short sell test. My first two new hard drives were Seagate. The first reinstall consisted of reinstalling windows from disk, loading Dell Drivers, checking for Dell driver updates, loading my anti-virus and of course hours and hours of windows updates. Within a few days the problems started. Did a Smart Short self-test and established that my NEW drive didn't pass. I returned it to Best Buy for another drive (seagate). After reinstalling windows and all the other associated needs, I had problems/errors. I used my wife's computer to establish thru the "community" that I should have upgraded to a Western Digital Hard Drive. OK. Got a WD, reinstalled Windows, put in my DELL drivers/utillites disk, installed my drivers and opened F12 diagnostics from disk. Scrolled down to "Hard Drive" diagnostics test which includes the Short Self test but also a "FIVE HOUR" COMpLETE diagnostic test!!! Guess what? It passed! COOL!! Now it's time to spend the hours for "Windows updates", Adobe flash, PDF, etc. OOOPs! Problems again! Click on anything and it locks up! F-12 would not pass "Smart Short Test"!!!! I'm now on my FOURTH NEW hard drive (western digital), with the same problems!!!! Obviously, it's not the HARD DRIVE as so many have stated. I would appreciate if any real techs out there may have a solution. I will gladly name my first born (well, maybe my 4th or 5th) after you.
