Didn't Really help :/

No boot device found means the computer can't find the place where Windows is supposed to start from so your hard drive is most likely dead. Sadly, I don't know how to fix it or if there is even a fix.

Interesting.
When i do Diagnostics on F12 it says

Warning
Msg:Hard Drive - Not Installed

Do you want to continue testing?

Yes  No    Retry

Yeah your hard drive is probably dead :/

What you gotta do is open up your computer box and make sure the proper cables are connected to the hard drive, something may have come loose. If not, then you need a replacement.

Alright, i'll get my dad to do that when he gets home :P

The hard drive might be damaged. It's not very likely for one of the cables to disconnect, unless you shake your computer fairly hard.

Porkyyy May 13, 2015 at 9:05 PM UTC

Also, is it a laptop or a desktop computer?

TheColdCrafter May 13, 2015 at 10:05 PM UTC

It is a laptop, and we're pretty sure its a busted hard drive. We looked at it, and there are no cables to connect it, and we put it in so it wasn't loose.
Porky was right again

Nope :P

Prett much your internal harddrive isn't connect up properly. Did you drop it or put any kind of preasure on it? My suggestion is you should get an expert to fix it DO NOT attempt to fix it, trust me i know my computers.

Ok i just read all the other posts. Disregard this.

Lolmy grandma had the same exact problem today so I booted it up and let it sit for 15 minutes, then it went on!

Am always right. ;)

Anyways, you'll probably need a replacement hard drive, since it would be much better than taking it to a technician, taking into consideration both the price and the durability.

Not sure how it works for laptops, but you can probably easily get a new HDD (Small one) and just plug in the SATA and power cables in...
Or an SSD (120 - 250GB) would be a good choice too, if you aren't going to download and record a lot...
