Can a virus cause "No Bootable Device" on a laptop?

Walrus_Noob · Jul 31, 2016

I had recently downloaded a software which i have downloaded on a few other computers, from a third party site, however a few hours later my computer crashed and this message pops up whenever i start the computer. Im sending it to my manufacturer, but could this be the cause?

No, Your motherboard is not recognising the Hard Drive. This is an internal issue within the system, They may wipe your drive so I hope you have backups.

So its a manufacturing problem meaning it should be covered by my parts warranty? And i didnt have a backup

however nothing too important just old school stuff

Yes,

That is correct. That message is given when the Hard Drive cannot be located by the motherboard. It can either be a fault in the board or the drive however the laptop still has too be in warranty.
