Hello,
first of all i'd like to apologize if i'm posting this in the wrong section of the forum. Here's the issue:
I was playing about on my computer, when suddenly the colors mixed up on the screen. An entirely blue screen came up with lots of text on it, i only remember ''if this is the first time you see this reboot your computer, if this is the second time follow these steps''. I went ahead and shutdown my computer and turned it on again, and it was all black, just some white text saying ''reboot and select proper boot device''. I turned it on and off again, and I read the screen that always shows up when I turn on my computer more specifically, somewhere it said something like: ''Press F2 to run setup or F11 to open boot menu''. I pressed F11, and now it says ''Boot selection popup menu has been selected''. All the other text is still there, I've left it for about half an hour like that and it still hasn't moved. I should note, that at the bottom it says ''Auto-Detecting sec master.. atapi cdrom and Auto-detecting 3rd master...''. Something similar happened yesterday, only it said ''A disk read error occoured''. It somehow fixed itself later, can't really tell how, all I know is, today it's way more different. This is the first time something like this has ever happened on my computer, except ofcourse the ''disk checking'' that has came by several times (I've often let it check it, if that helps).
I'm on win7 32-bit. I really need help with this, I've often experienced not-replying on threads such as steam, but I really need help with this one.
And for anyone that's interested, i'm on my brother's computer so i'm not even close to joking about.
EDIT: Turns out, the hard drive got sorta unplugged as it seems. Thanks, Miran!
