A couple months ago my desktop started to display the error message 3f0 and ever science I have searched YouTube, and looked around this website to no avail. I am not in a position to buy a new pc so any help whatsoever is really appreciated.

Hi,

This usually indicates a problem with the Hard Drive.

So you should try performing diagnostics at boot and see if there are any hardware problems.

Turn on the PC and repeatedly press ESC until startup menu appears

Press F2 to enter diagnostics and perform the fast system test or hard drive test.

See if the test is performed and passed.

 

Let us know,

David
