1230508 2011-09-12 07:44:00 Hi all,
Was on computer last night and when i went to change volume, the internet crashed and my laptop made a buzzing sound. I turned the computer off manually as the sound didnt stop when i closed the lid.
Today when i turned my laptop on, i received a black screen with the words;
"Realtek PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller Series v2.26 (090219)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

Have tried pressing ctrl+alt+delete but this gets me to a screen saying "SMART Hard Disk Error"

Please help
