Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat; Re-Connect the AC adapter.

NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.
Power on your PC, press ESC (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).

Which will probably prove the HDD has failed.

After the hard drive test i am getting this message "No hard drive installed. Please check that the power and data cables are connected properly."

Hi

That suggests to me that you have a total failure, where the HDD is not even recognised as being present, unless it has been dislodged.

 

As it could also be a Main Board problem you may want to either remove and test the HDD, then replace OR take it to a local repairer for an opinion/estimate.
