Inspiron 8000

Question

So ok I got an old Inspiron 8000 with a new hard drive and operating system. All the drivers and everything have been installed. It was running great and then one day I come home to find the screen frozen. I reboot and have some trouble getting the system up and running. When I finally do, it is working fine and then suddenly freezes again. I get an error message saying something about a kernel and a physical memory dump. After that, every time I try to reboot it I get a message that says no bootable devices detected press F1 to reboot and F2 for systems options. HELP!!

Check your bios and see if your hard drive is listed. Reseat your hard drive and check again. Your hard drive may be going out.
