kung d mada ug reset, try reformat ur HDD by removing ur HDD in ur laptop then transfer it 2 another laptop or put an enclosure to connect into Desktop or Laptop using USB connector, then reformat ur error HDD.

nya bro, kung ma reformat na nako, asa man ko mag install sa oS? sa akong dell or sa other laptop/desktop? if sa lain, madetect ra ba sa akong dell inig insert nako after sa installation?

run hardware diagnostics first.. there's no sense in troubleshooting the software when the problem is with the hard drive to begin with..

1. While the computer is off, hold down Fn and at the same time push the power button. You should see something like diagnostic boot selected or preboot system assessment. It will run through the diagnostics and if ever you get an error code, take note kung unsa ang code.

If an error occurs while the laptop is running diags on the hard drive then you might need to replace the hard drive.

please post the error code here para matabangan ka sa uban mga istoryans... good luck..

gamit ka lain laptop or desktop para reinstall sa OS. don't install the drivers lang sa kay mag BSOD na imo Dell if ang drivers sa lain nga pc ang nakainstall..
you can download the drivers from Dell using another computer. Just type the computer's service tag or if wala na na nga sticker just select the system model nalang. Save them to a flash drive then install sa imo dell.
