    Hi This issue is often caused by either an incorrect setting in BIOS or a bad boot device, such as a bad hard disk drive.

      Last one i worked on was the HDD. Guessing here it has a SATA drive in it. Try testing with another HDD see if it goes pass the MEDIA TEST FAULT then switch off if it does. Passes that then possitive your HDD is gubbed.
