On this basis I would do the following:
1. Check for data structure problems on the hard drive. Boot up the
computer, open a Command Prompt window and enter the following
command:
CHKDSK C: /R
The command will be set to run on the next restart. Shut down and
restart right away if you want to get it over with.
2. Check for physical problems with the hard drive. Go to the hard
drive manufacturer's web site and download their free diagnostic test
software. Run this to check out the drive for possible
physical/mechanical problems.
3. Ensure that S.M.A.R.T. monitoring of the hard drive is enabled in
the computer's BIOS setup. Many manufacturers ship their new
computers with this setting disabled, presumably on the basis that if
the purchasers are not aware of the impending death of the hard drive
they will not file a warranty claim until the drive actually dies,
which will hopefully be after the expiry of the warranty.
Good luck
