"reboot and select proper boot device" boot error

[cheebamaster]

I just installed a fan controller as well as replaced a bunch of fans on my chasis to aftermarket ones. After a long time of taking out all the fans/installing new ones and hooking them up to the control I attempted to boot my PC and got the error

"reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media"

I went into the bios and selected HDD as 1st boot and then cd rom as 2nd and the problem persisted.

Also, during my fan installation I powered up/off the pc a couple times to make sure fans were working...could that have messed crap up since I didn't do a legit shutdown?

my specs:

Asus p6x58d Premium
Intel SSD 120gb
standard WD secondary HD
6gb ram
2x 580
i7 920 @ 3.8ghz

Thanks!

Start by checking if your OS drive is recognized in BIOS. If so windows might be corrupt and repair install should fix it, If not maybe cables came loose.
