I had my computer running all night yesterday. This morning I wake up to find a message on the screen saying "Reboot and Select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device". When I reboot now I getting the same error. Not sure what happened all of a sudden to cause this issue. I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on that machine.

Any idea why this happened and how I can fix it?

Guess what, I had this problem when I got up to switch on my machine this morning at 03.26. As I was reading Mepher's answers I kept on switching on and off my computer and at the same time unplugging from the wall socket and plugging again. Repeating this process several times all the time and bingo I got the machine back on track. You need to be patient though. good luck. Please give me a feedback to this suggestion.
