Today my Dell Pentium, which runs on Windows 10,  screen completely froze but I could still move the mouse but nothing would work. Then I shut down my computer and rebooted it and then a black screen popped up and said "Not bootable devices -- strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility. Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics." Have any ideas how I can fix this issue? Thanks.

Do you have the option to plug the hard drive into a different computer to see if it can boot?

I like Computer Stuffs. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it in again? Automation Expert (Bots, scripts, etc)! Add me on Xbox Live: JollyPlanet449 And on Steam!: Baxtmann Wanshow.tips is a cool place too

Thank you everyone for the feedback, but I found out that it was because the hard drive got disconnected from me whacking the computer too hard in rage ;)
