This could be a problem with the hard drive.  Run the Dell Diagnostics and see what is reported
 
 
 
To access them press F12 when you see the dell logo screen, then there will be an option that says IDE or Hard Drive Diagnostics. That will run a quick test, if you want a more thorough test select the option that says Boot to Utility Partition, then select custom test, select hard drive and then run test.

You will have to go to a Sony support forum. We are Dellites.
