I did a hardware diagnostic UEFI test, driver failed. How can that be, unit is only 18 months old.

How can I fix this issue.... is the driver really bad?

HDD is like a light bulb, it can die anytime specially when dealing with heat specially when playing games or doing high graphics works. Did the test produce a 24-charactor code ? If yes then sadly to say: Most of the time the 24 char failure id indicates the HDD is failing and need to be replaced.

Is it still under warranry ? If Yes, please call HP for a replacement.
