Check for your BIOS setting. Check for the order of devices to boot from. Because it might be possible that your settings allow your computer to boot only from the local hard disk and if that disk is not working properly your computer throws the error message as it is not having anything to boot from. For this go to the BIOS settings by pressing 'Del' key during booting your computer. Then go to Bios settings and select the order of the disks in which you want to boot from. Then save the changes and exit the system and restart. If the problem is still unresolved move to step 3.
Step 6
A weak SMP could also be a reason. Check your battery for power supply. If it was the reason for the problem change the SMP as the problem would arise again if you continue with the same SMP.
Step 7
Check your BIOS battery. It is the circular battery placed on the motherboard. Check if it is working fine. A dead Bios Battery will also cause the same problem. So remove it, clean it with a piece of cloth and reinsert it. Restart the system. If problem still exists move to next step.

Remove your RAM from the motherboard and clean it with a piece of cloth and reinsert it properly onto the motherboard. Restart the system.
