Default [Resolved] Reebot and select proper Boot device?!?

Hello,

When i turned my computer on it displays a message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" written with white letters on a black background. And when I press a key it just repets the message, I can only press ctrl+alt+delete but then the computer restarts.

Please help me, thank you.

You need to insert your Windows XP Installation CD into the CD drive.
That is what the computer is asking for.

1. Windows CD are meant for one computer only.

2. As to why it requires the CD, I could not say. Some function of Windows is not functioning right and the operating system has determined that the best course of action is to access the Installation CD.

Without the CD you will not be able to resolve this computer problem. Suggest you recover your Windows CD and instruct your cousin to purchase their own.

Ok this is getting really annoying now ... When I'm playing a game the computer freezes for 1 minute and than restarts , and than it shows the message again ... This is happening after 15 minutes of playing . Than I have to wait 15 minutes again to get the computer running ......

1. Are your computer drivers up to date?

2. What games are you playing when this happens?

3. Are you using IE and playing the games over the internet?
