According to the error message you have posted I suspect there could be a hardware issue on your Notebook

It could be possible that the Hard Drive on the Notebook could be corrupted or it might have bad sectors

 

Please perform the Steps as shown below:-

1. Please "Turn OFF" the Notebook

2. "Power ON" the Notebook and keep tapping the Escape Key during the start up to enter the Start-up Menu

3. Now here, Please select the BIOS option [F10] and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab

4. You should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Disk Drive and Memory

 

Note: Please perform these two tests and post back with the details of any error messages
