Yesterday my computer crashed and won't start back up. When I scanned my computer I was given the error code 2000-0142 along with the message "Hard drive 0 - S/N S1E0CS3E short self test unsuccessful"
What is wrong, and more importantly, how do I fix it?

Error code 2000-0142 indicates a failing/failed hard drive, first try removing and reinstalling the Hard Drive, then rerun the diagnostics and see if you receive the same error.
If the same error is received, the hard drive has failed, then you need to replace it, followed by reinstalling windows, followed by loading the drivers and applications.
