reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key issue

Hi, PiersG_99,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

The error "select the proper boot device or insert boot media" could be caused for two reasons, has a problem with the hard drive and is not recognized on Bios, or the boot files were corrupted. The first thing that you need to check is if your hard drive is recognized in Bios and if doesn't have any problem.

Here is which key you need to press to enter on Bios:

Acer: F2 or DEL

ASUS: F2 for all PCs, F2 or DEL for motherboards

Dell: F2 or F12

HP: ESC or F10

Lenovo: F2 or Fn + F2

Lenovo (Desktops): F1

Lenovo (ThinkPads): Enter + F1.

MSI: DEL for motherboards and PCs

Origin PC: F2

Samsung: F2

Sony: F1, F2, or F3

Toshiba: F2

Once you are on Bios settings, go to the boot tab and check if your hard drive is recognized, if it is not you need to check the hard drive connection.

Hi I've tried the correct keys but none of them open the bios settings

I'm glad to hear the problem was fixed. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Please provide some more information to help to identify what is causing the problem. Are you using a laptop or desktop? Which is the full model of your laptop or motherboard?

Hi thanks for your answer but I fixed the problem, I manged to get into the bios by repetitively tapping the bios key and I reset the settings and my pc works normally
