Hi everyone, im new here and found this site while i was looking for some answers. Hopefully someone here can help me out.
My computer was fine until yesterday. Its a gaming computer thats not even a year old, yesterday after i woke up i turned it on and it didnt get to log onto windows and it turned off itself. So i unplugged everything, opened it up vacuumed it all and replugged everything and started it up. Well now it stopped turning off, but it wont load to windows. it goes pass the first black screen with white lettering, then it gets to the screen that says "Boot from CD"
then couple seconds later it would say "Client Mac Address xx xxx xx x" i have never had this problem before.

This is what it says:

Client Mac Addr: x xx x xx xxx xx x GUID: xxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx
PXE-E53: No boot filename recieved
PXE-M0F: Exiting Nvidia boot agent

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

So any genius's out there that can help me? Please and Thank You!

First of all, vacuuming computer inside is a VERY BAD idea. It creates a lot of static electricity, which may damage internal components. Always use a can of compressed air.

As for your error...
Go to BIOS. Make sure, that the boot order reads: floppy, CD, HD
Disable Boot from Network (wording is different on every machine, may say Integrated NIC, Network, PXE-xxxxxxx)
Save changes, and exit.
Restart computer.

The computer MAY be trying to boot from a network if the hard drive is dead.
This is especialy true of E machines.
If you have the BIOS set to boot from the hard drive first and still get this error, or it just will not load Windows I would suspect a bad hard drive.

Thanks HFCG, it was actually the hard drive =(. I have so much important [bleep] in there. Now i have to make a post on how to recover them all.
