Hi @Dawid531​!

 

Usually this failure ID indicates that your HDD has failed and needs to be replaced, or there's an issue with the SATA controller on the board. There's a really great topic about how to troubleshoot this error, so if you want you can take a look:

Hi There,

 

We are experiencing issues with this too. The links included in these posts don't work anymore. We have a few PC's doing the same thing but some times they would work and sometimes we get the error. What did you do with the Sata controller to fix the issue?
