Turned my dell L502x laptop on this morning and I got a 'no operation system found' screen.  I ran diagnostics and got errors:

0146- hard drive failure
&
0333- graphics test failed

All other tests passed.

I've had the computer going on 3 years, and within the first year my hard drive died and dell replaced it.  Does this sound like the same thing, or is it more than just the hard drive because of the graphics test failure?  Motherboard perhaps?  Trying to figure out if its worth buying the replacement parts to try and fix myself or if I should bite the bullet and buy a new computer before school starts in the Fall.
I need to game!
