Error 3f0

x360 Laptop: Error 3f0- repeats every week:

Problem goes away once Hard disk (Seagate, 1TB hdd 1 yea old) cable connector on the motherboard disconnected and reconnected but the issue repeats every week.

Thanks Andy for the help,

My sincere apologies for the delay in providing the feedback to you.

1 (Hard reset)- worked couple of times to resolve the 3f0

2. Reset BIOS default settings - Did not help

3.  Reset Hard Drive - yes it worked 

But an interesting observation is that 3f0 recur during the power ON, if the system is shut down after the system files clean by Mcafee (anti virus) (which include Recycle bin, temporary files, short cuts, Windows history, Lost file fragments, Activex control, Problem report files) .

Hope this information is useful in finding a permanent fix for this issue. Please advise. Thanks
