A couple common things can cause this. First, make sure the proper boot device (usually your first HDD or SSD) is selected as the primary boot device in your BIOS. Also make sure to disconnect any possible alternate boot devices like a USB drive or bootable CD/DVD in an optical drive.

The other common cause is more ominous, it could be that you have an issue with your primary boot device itself (like a failed or corrupted device).
