My brother's in school and has had 2 school issued dell laptops have hard disk failures in both. 2 questions, what would be causing this, and what can be done to fix it?

What could be causing it:
- Age. The drives could be old.
- Physical damage. They are school computers after all, being dropped, thrown around, etc. could have damaged the drives.
- Bad sectors. The drive could just be wearing down from age (as stated above) causing bad sectors and such.

Fix:
- Replace the drive.

It has a black screen with cursor, no button combos do anything (ctrl alt delete, shift 5x to get sticky keys, etc) bios diagnostic listed a 1042 error for the hard drive signifying failure.

Get an SSD drive, they are faster, run cooler and more reliable in my opinion

All three of the supported games? And using Wine is as often as not a poor compromise (and don't even get me started on the dirty, rotten, THIEVES at Transgaming). Even when iD and Epic supported Linux in their engines (back in the UT, Soldier of Fortune, Quake 3 days), the window managers of the time didn't cooperate very well with fullscreen apps or yielding mouse control. Honestly, only a fanatic zealot would proclaim that games run better on Linux than Windows (no offense, mate). Game streaming from Windows is the best possible thing that could happen right now for Linux gaming.
