Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've had this laptop for less than a year and it's already stopped working. The warranty expired a  few days after it got off the shelf and now I don't know what to do. Gives me an Error telling me to run diagnostics on the HDD. I run it and it says it's all good, rinse and repeat.

 

What do I do? I am so lost.

Well here's the actual problem. My warranty is expired and I shouldn't have to fix this myself since it shouldn't be expired in the first place. The warranty expired shortly after it left the shelf of the store. What can I do to get it reinstated so I can send the laptop in? @Riddle_Decipher

 

The code is 3F2 by the way.
