Hi @Chris971, 

Thanks for the post and Welcome to HP Forums. 

I see you are getting a hard drive error on your computer. Glad to provide my suggestion. 

Recommend you to run the diagnostics with only one hard drive installed on the computer at a time. 

Based on the error code you are receiving, recommend you to replace the hard drive which gives this error code. You can refer to this HP Article for assistance and the error codes. 

Good luck.
