Tonight I was on my computer while I was on Google Chrome, and it randomly shut down.
When I tried booting it back up, it gave me this message... "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".. any time you'd click any key it'd just repeat the sentence.

I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to dealing with these kinds of issues.
At first.. I check the BIOS and moved the order at which it boots around.
I then tried moving it all to the default settings of startup.
I then tried checking any loose cables connected to my hard drive/motherboard.
I'm all out of options.. the only thing I can think of is that something triggered my OS to fail.. any ideas?
 
Solution
Check bios for HDD detection.
If it's not detected, change SATA ports or SATA data and power cable.
All don't work. HDD is no good. Change the HDD
