I recently changed my motherboard because it burned. After that, the computer was running really smoothly and fast. I used it for like around 15 days and this error appears when I turn it on now:

Primary Slave Hard DIsk Error
Press F1 to Resum"

Pressing F1 doesn't lead to anything.

Go into the BIOS and clear NVRAM - if you are having a hard time getting into your system BIOS, taking the CMOS battery out momentarily will suffice.
