Is this bad?

Yeah, monitor is broken, it's bad.

 

Joking, somewhat... yeah, it can take some time to fix those issues, but usually they're fixed... it's very rarely hardware failure, just the operating system dealing with an improper shut down or sudden reset or crash.

If it's stuck there for a long time, it could indicate bad sector(s) on the drive, though.

That could be a sign of power supply failing.

That drive you posted a picture of is an IDE-drive, you can't use that. The Optiplex 755 uses SATA, not IDE.

Don't panic yet. If you can eventually boot into Windows, download CrystalDiskInfo and check whether it says the drive in it is okay or not. It'll say in big letters "CAUTION" if your drive needs to be replaced.

It would be a good idea to backup whatever files you don't want to lose and buy a new drive. They don't cost a lost nowadays.

It has bad sectors and over 26000 power on hours, the drive is toast you should make an image backup and spend $40 to get a new drive.

(and unless relevant please stop spamming pictures.)

Doesn't look that bad to me. The errors may be incorrectly logged by the hard drive due to random resets or issues that may be caused by a bad power supply or something else that's failing.

 

You can make the drive re-test everything and reset those parameters if they're incorrect by using software like WD Data Lifeguard diagnostic: https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=3&lang=en

Note you can't run it on your drive, you have to boot from another drive and the test erases the tested drive completely, so you'd do this only before you're reinstall stuff.

 

At less than 7000h of use, it's rare to get such errors . -edit - oh, it's nearly 23k hours... that's different... tho i have drives with 60k hours and they still work well.

 

You can use something like HD Tune https://www.hdtune.com/  to scan the surface of the disk and figure out where those problem sectors are - see the Health tab.

Mark where the bad sector is, for example at 90 GB and then you could reinstall Windows ... during setup you could make C around 88 GB (stop a few hundred megabytes before that area with problems) , then make a partition that's 1-2 GB (just enough to contain that problem area), and a third partition until the end of the drive..give that the D letter.

Now when you're reading or writing to C and D (last partition) you would get less errors cause the bad area is never touched, in the middle.
