any offers ?

You should post an exact copy of the Error message not a paraphrase of
what you remember it to be.

Have you recently entered the BIOS and made changes? Have you left a
floppy, CD or DVD in a drive?

exact msg is 'reboot and select proper boot device inseret boot media in
selected boot device and press a key'

no discs in drives but motherboard replaced recently (professionally) and a
new graphic card inserted (not professionally) maybe that is the proble, all
other functions are ok apart from fan on graphics card is on most of the
time.

thanks for getting back to me

What is your computer make and model?

Did the problem start immediately after installing the graphics card?
The reason for asking is I am wondering whether the cabling to the
drives was disturbed and reconnected incorrectly.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Please post a copy of the Error Report appearing in the System or
Application logs in Event Viewer for the last time the error arose.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
