I had my hp pavillion n268sa for about 1 month when the laptop couldnt even start up due to a short DST test fail?

I got the laptop repaired anyway and the hard drive got replaced.

Could anyone tell me why it happened??? i had the laptop in one place most of the time and kept it cool usually.


I do game on it for long periods of time 5hours + at a time, could this of affected it.

Hard drives fail - that error indicates a bad hard drive. Event with the best hardware, you are going to have a failure rate - albeit will be lower than the "not so great" hardware. You shouldn't be concerned, unless if you have multiple hard drive failures......
