Windows 10: Reboot and Select Proper Boot device message when PC is turned on

For the past three years, my PC has been working fine but now suddenly when I turn it on, I get this message:


Reboot and select proper Boot device

Or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key


I cannot even Repair, Refresh or re-install the operating system. Has the operating system crashed or is it the hard drive? Is there a way to tell for certain? But then, when I try the drive on another PC, it works! However, when I try another PC's drive on the PC, the same message comes up. Most confusing indeed. Is it possible that the sata ports on the motherboard are the problem as I have tried all the four ports on the motherboard but in vain. Even in bios under Sata Configuration, the hard drives are reflected as Not Present.

Can someone please help?

Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device...after reboot?

Hello all. Getting a little frustrated here. A couple of weeks ago we had a user come in on a Monday morning to find that her pc was displaying the classic message "Reboot and select proper boot device...". Tried popping in a windows disk and fixing the MBR, no luck. Ended up reinstalling windows and her few programs back on it. All was good after this. For about a day. She came in the next day to find the same message. So at that point we decided that more than likely the drive was bad even though oddly enough it tested out fine. It was a Corsair 60gb SSD.

Last week we swapped that Corsair with a 64gb Crucial SSD and installed Windows. We then created a backup image of that drive. All was good until Thursday when her power strip that the PC was plugged into got tripped. Start up the computer for find "Reboot and select proper boot device..." message. So, apply the backed up image to the SSD since repairing the MBR didn't work.

Now this morning she comes in and the PC is running fine. Attempts to open Microsoft Word and she gets a pop-up stating there isn't enough disk space. So, she then restarts and upon booting back up gets "Reboot and select proper boot device..."

Any ideas what is causing this? Is it something with the mobo or do I just have horrible luck and replaced the bad SSD with another bad SSD?
