That error typically means the hard disk is failing, but it can also be caused by something interfering with the boot process.

Use the F2 as suggested from that screen OR

To verify the situation, run the Diagnostics routine.

 

To run the Diagnostics routine, Start tapping the Esc key BEFORE starting the PC and then press the start button.

Keep tapping the Esc key until a popup menu shows. Then pick Diagnostics from that popup menu, F2.

Report back with the results. Also need the PC model number.
