Hey. I have had this issue for a month, and I am very annoyed. I boot from my external DVD drive (the internal one is broken). There was a movie in the drive which I wanted to watch, but Windows would freeze upon playing. I booted from the DVD drive to see if the movie would play. Now, all of this is happening. First, I got a "Reboot and select proper boot device" message when I booted from the HDD. Windows Boot Manager appeared as the primary boot option by default, so I booted from that afterwards. I get a Windows loading screen, and it just stays there and nothing happens. I created a recovery DVD and USB stick, none of which booted correctly. Both would load endlessly. I also replaced my CPU and motherboard today, and that did not fix it. Is it a faulty hard drive? I built this PC 4 months ago, and everything has worked fine until I try to watch a movie.
PC does not boot from ANY device, including HDD, Recovery drive, USB, External drive. "Reboot and select proper boot device"

it can be corrupted boot drivers when HHD looses power or by virus.if your replace motherboard with same brand chipset then no problem if its say was intel and your replace with amd your not gonna get boot in tho HHD.
You can't 'Boot' from a movie unless you Restart the PC. If you restart the pc too many times without a full boot then it'll wipe the POST sequence in the Boot file.
Watching movies doesn't 'break' a HDD. But say if the drive is full then that'll cause problems. Especially if it's the drive with your Operating System (Windows) on it.
So the first thing to establish is - does your pc boot 100% OK? Just turn it on and see if it loads Windows. Tell us what happened.
