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

    Hi swifty, I can't even get that far. From pressing the power button on the MB I will hear 1 "beep" from the speaker and then up comes that message. Can't even press delete to go into bios settings. Thanks.
