Since a few days ago, a short-lasting message started appearing when booting - Attempting Boot From Hard Drive. Everything works normally, boots normally, only a quick message that did not appear before. Thanks

There are two possibilities

 

Most likely is the BIOS has the option to boot USB or a CD before booting the hard drive.  You happened to have a flash drive in one of the USB slots -or- a CD in the optical drive.  If so, the BIOS looked at those devices and did not see an operating system so it then tried the hard disk and displayed that message as "information":  To fix this go into the BIOS setup and set the boot priority to try the hard drive first before trying the USB or CD.

 

Less likely is that the BIOS had to retry the hard drive. The HDD had not reached the correct speed if a mechanical HDD.

 

Press ESC next time you power on and run one pass through the diagnostics.

I tried everything but the message still appears...

Just to ask... my BIOS version is 02.78 but on drivers download page for my PC says that 02.71 is the latest version, which is confusing.
