So recently, my Lenovo G580 started having problems.

At first, I left my pc for the night, then I wake up
And see "choose option" window and then I tried to reset, check for errors, tried almost every thing, except an option which would delete all my files, I even run chkdsk command and it didnt find any errors. So I left my pc for the night again. Then it didnt even launch "choose option" window but only "start pxe over ipv4" after that it showed that it time out and then it showed "start pxe over ipv6" then it would run me into boot menu Screen. If I would choose hdd the same "start pxe over ipv" would start all over again.

Does this mean my hdd is dead? Or maybe my pc got dusty inside? What should I do, it see I tried every thing..

"start pxe over ipv4"

That message means your PC is/was attempting to boot from the network device because it couldn't find a bootable device anywhere else on the system.

Either Windows is missing/corrupted, or the HDD has failed.

To check for HDD failure, test it with SeaTools for DOS which loads into RAM from a bootable CD.

Or you can use this CD image instead (Drive Fitness Test): http://www.hgst.com/support/downloads/legacy-downloads#DFT

(I've provided this alternative because SeaTools for DOS doesn't support USB mice or USB keyboards)

You can create the CD from the image using any working PC and this...

When you've made the CD, boot your PC from it to test the HDD.
