Hi:

 

It could be a possible hard drive failure.

 

Start the PC and go into the BIOS. There should be a diagnostics menu.  Run the hard drive diagnostics test and see what it reports.

I used to get this a lot on our workstations. Try to unplug and replug the SATA cable connecting to both motherboard and HDD.

 

Sometimes, it's just a loose connection.
