Computer crashes after the Windows sign appears during startup
About an hour ago, I took the side panel off my computer to get rid of some dust inside the case. Once I had finished up, I started up the computer again to find the message 'reboot with proper start up device' or something a long those lines. I proceeded to put the disk of Windows 7 into the disk tray and load in up. After windows had finished loading files, the computer appeared to start up as normal, but just blanked screened after the windows logo appeared. This now occurs every time I start up the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The reason this is in hardware and devices section, is because when I go into the EFI BIOS, it doesn't have the HDD as listed component in the boot priority.
