Update: I opened it up and plugged in another hhd and the same problem came up. Still can't get into bios. Is my computer rip?

So you want me to keep restating and pressing del until something happens or press it while on the error screen? And yeah, it is a pain to get open.

I love my mx blues, very tactile feeling to them. They are loud without dampeners though.

I tried mashing the Del key from one I pressed the power button to where I get the error message, nothing has come up though. If it is a bad hhd how can I check without spare parts laying around?

Today I turned on my computer to have it start loading normally and then go to a screen that says "Reboot and select proper Boot Device or insert book media in selected device and press a key". I looked around and saw that it can be solved by going into my bios and messing with a setting however I cant get into my bios. When my computer first starts up it goes to a screen that says "Gateway" with their logo and then it just goes to this error message. I have tried pressing f1-12 while in both screens, esc, and del but nothing has worked. My computer was working just fine yesterday and I don't know what could have happened to cause this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
