That error message equates to a Full Hard disk test failure.
Are you still able to boot to Windows and perhaps copy your data from the drive?
Is your notebook still under warranty coverage? The free warranty is for one year.

My normal warranty was over 6 days ago.
But the laptop was sent in once for repair in march last year - does this prolong the warranty?
Can I change the harddrive on this laptop on my own as well?
Cause then i would put in a SSD and hope that it fixes the issues.

No.
Having sent it in does not prolong the warranty.
I hope you did make a USB recovery flash drive.
You can replace the legacy SATA hard disk with an M.2 SATA-3 SSD. The recovery media can be used to install the OS
