Reboot and insert proper boot device error. -___-

[Jripper]

I am getting this weird error message sometimes when I am turning on my PC.
Its not happening everytime,but at times,instead of the "windows" loading screen I am getting a black screen with the message "Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot media" . When I go into the boot menu,The HDD isn't shown there in the boot sequence selection option. But when the system works normally the HDD is shown there. Don't know what the problem is.It happens at random times.Any help??

P.S:- I have tried changing the boot order to HDD first and other variations.Not working. :\

Re do the SATA jumpers.

also rest the BIOS and again set the priority of the HDD's.

Google says that the PC is trying to boot from usb

I already set the boot order 3-4 times. :\ And sometimes the problem disappears when I restart with the usb mouse disconnected(not always though).Its not an HDD problem since i have tried 3 HDD's.

Will try the jumpers.

Did u, by any chance, buy a new motherboard?
Soln-jumpers.
Also,check the sata cables.

try to update ur bios it could be due to bios issue

check the cables & the slot where the cable gets fitted well. i2 faced same problem many times. at last know both cable & the slot have slowly gone bad. bowever mine is IDE & i don't have any USB mouse.

try to update ur bios it could be due to bios issue

yes sam, I oc it before i boot it.

ok but i think you should have ran it for 1 week before doing the OC. still its ok. BTW, what is the load & idle temperature?
