Everything was fine, until I turned it on and it wouldn't start up, it keep cycling asking me if I wanted to start in safe mode or last good configuration, but would never startup. I ran diagnostics and I got error code 2000-0142. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. Upon looking up this code all I have found is that the harddrive failed. Is this true?

I ran a pre-boot system test, and this error is supposedly causing the problems. I don't think it is the problem though. BIOS recognizes the hard drive, so therefore, it can't be completely dead. My thought is that it may be a problem with the motherboard. My computer overheats excessively and although I have tried everything to keep it cool, nothing works for too long. I found on a forum that I should run windows from the OS disk and select the repair hard drive option, but this option doesn't exist on mine.
