Dell XPS 410 failure

Last response: in Components

My computer has stopped working. I ran the diagnostics and everything passed except for error code 0F00:136C (IDE device failed, blank media or no media is present) and 0F00:286F (Optical drive DRAM test failed). Can you help diagnose whether i need a new hard drive? Or what else should I be doing?

Sounds more like a motherboard failure, since both your drives were indicated as failed. Is this laptop still under warranty? If not, I'd suggest you open it up to see if the hard disk and optical drive are connected to the laptop's motherboard properly.

I agree, but it's a desktop.
