SATA Disk & System Memory Failure

I have a Dimensions 4700 Desktop. This morning it would not boot up - blue screen with Stop error message screen appears.
 
I went to the Utility Partition to run the diagnostic tool and the following tests failed:
 
System Memory - "MATS" and "March A Test"
(Error Code: 2F00:0019, Msg: System memory failure. Read 00240000h, expected 00000000h at address 1C844040h. Suspected memory component located on System board, at label CHANNEL B DIMM 0) - note: had multiple errors like this when running the diagnostic - same Error Code, different addressses
 
Hard Drive - SATA Disk - "Read Test" and "Verify Test"
(Error Code: 0F00:0244, Msg: Block 6657598. Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected)
(Error Code: 0F00:1A44, Msg: Block 6657598.  Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected)
 
Can someone please help me understand what this means and how to fix it?

You've got a bad hard drive, for sure; replace it with a new standard SATA drive.

Move the memory module to the other socket and re-test. If the failure follows the module, you have a bad memory module; replace it with a new one. If the failure occurs to a different module in the slot where the original one failed, the socket is bad; replace the system board.
