When left alone..."Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert..."

When left alone..."Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

I have a new(ish) cpu that I bought last Christmas, it works great and it has not crashed on me whenever I am using it. However, when I leave it on overnight (usually when it is downloading something big), when I wake up in the morning I am greeted with a black screen with the words:

"Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

When this happens I simply press the power button a few seconds to turn it off, then turn it on again and it boots normally. (pressing a key only results in the message being repeated)

What infuriates me is that it only ever happens when I leave it on overnight so I don't know when and how exactly it occurs but it almost always does. Like I said earler, it never does this when I am using it as it works fine otherwise. It just won't stay on overnight when I need it to. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Same here!

Hey! I'm having the same problem. When I went into my bios, I noticed my "code meter" stick (a dongle for Reason) was listed as a boot device. Disabling that didn't really help unfortunately- it seems like cycling the power is the only fix, but I read something somewhere about code meter dongles not being properly unmounted or something. Do u have a USB dongle? Of so that might have something to do with it. If not I guess we'll keep looking?
