Product: HP 15-ay000 Notebook PC series (Touch)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Today, I booted up my laptop and found it showing an error message: (not my pic) 

I ran the system diagnostics test twice, both times the result being something wrrong with the "Hard Drive Short DST".

 

The first time this error popped up, I pressed continue, and continued using my laptop. During use, however, I heard some sounds from under the keyboard, like some kind of weird occasional mechanical-sounding "pop" noise. Then, my laptop froze (something that happens roughly twice a day nowadays), so I force turned it off by holding the power button. Upon turning it back on, I was greeted with this message again and then decided to run the tests.

 

So...I assume I'm supposed to back up my Hard Drive now, right? What exactly is the HD Short DST, anyway?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
