XPS 8700 diagnostic error message
XPS 8700
I am running Linux Mint on a 2 TB HD and Windows 10 on a 200 GB HD and a 600 GB HD. My computer suddenly started taking a long time to boot up so I ran a diagnostic. The attached image shows the error message I got immediately. I disconnected all my USB devices except the keyboard and got the same message again. Please help me understand what's going on.
Thanks

when you have an old Dell pc and strange boot delay and error try replace cmos battery with a new one and clear cmos settings via mobo jumper.
