Ok, so I started a repair on a computer for my mother. She had the error, Reboot
and select proper boot device. I checked her BIOS and it's not registering anything being plugged in at all. NO hard drive, no cd/dvd drive. I first tried a new hard drive, this didn't work, I then tried a new motherboard, this didn't work. I have since tried 2 other hard drives and 1 other motherboard. I have tried different memory, even the power supply. The only thing I haven't tried is the processor. So my question is, could the processer cause this issue?
Oh occasionally it gets stuck at the HP boot screen as well.
Just a quick update, I have also tried changing sata cords as well. Since it doesn't see the cd/dvd drive I hooked up an external to it, and tried to install windows just to see if it would work. As expected it also doesn't see a drive to install it on.
