3 things.

Check your RAM, clean it up and install then try again.

If it doesn't work,

Then your boot able file in your hard drive is corrupt.

If not...

Your processor is bad, you will have to replace the processor, it doesn't cost much to replace.

from your write-up you know nothing about computer,
The issue is changed the HDD or reinstall the os and backing up the file ,08one 39347one 79, am in computer village ikeja,
Boss, I am a computer science graduate and a Cisco holder.
We start from lowest to higher level when troubleshooting.
The first thing expected is to work on the software side and not just swapping our hardwares like that.
A simple bios change causes that.
I have fix and manipulated computer to give this.
I am install multiple operating system on different hardware.
Please OP, send a mail to johnbright197@gmail.com I would provide free support to you and ensure this computer works flawlessly. If you a bit of an handy person who can open things up carefully , it is best.

Mr. Man shut up.
It may be a simple case of mistakenly assigning boot priority to another drive like CD or USB drive.

All these computer village engineers sef
Una & screwdriver na 5 & 6
Now let me school you,for free.
He was using the laptop when the problem occurred. How can he assign boot order while in use( windows OS mode)? Not possible. You can only assign boot order in bios mode. Wait you dont even have the slightest idea what am saying,do you? grin grin grin
You are the dumpest person I have seen on this forum. Imagine the ignorance and blatantly chest beating like he knew what he was saying. I hope for the sake of your future generations,your wife has at least an IQ of a donkey, or else both of you will give birth to long line of dumb f*ckdards grin

Berezuski:
Your system (OS) may have be loaded with MBR file format instead of UEFI (which your system originally support)
so whenever your system shuts down unexpectedly, it will fail to boot
If you are an advance user, you might want to head to bios settings and locate boot option and turn off secure boot, and be sure legacy support is selected.
After which you reboot your system.
You may be prompt that your operating system settings have changed and you should enter a certain number and press enter
You're good!

grin grin wahala, didn't you read the part he said he was using it before it shutdown?

It would. Backup your files while you still can.

I lost my files twice to this same issue. Turns out the issue was from the HDD.

Might be a confuguration settings only or maybe the hard disk is bad you can bring to my office at Ikeja then we take proper look at it.

either your OS has been corrupted or your hard drive has crashed or shifted out of place. First check if your hard drive is in place, if yes, then Get a new Windows and try reinstalling it.

Lol..you no even Sabi.

Boot device not found: here is the solution, it could be that the hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced or the bios setup have to be configured to boot from legacy support.

That's all. It has nothing to do with RAM.
Have you tried booting a pc with bad or without ram before?
If you are really a computer technician, you should know that

This is a problem associated with Legacy Support

Boot your system and press F10 to bios go to system configuration Enable Legacy support and save

You would be prompted to enter some numbers and enter boom it is done.

It works perfectly

My pc fell few weeks ago while using it. After using it, I hybernated it. The next day I turn it on and I got the same message. After try different approaches, I remembered it fell. I just turned it upside down and gave it a warm spanking. My brother, it worked fine after that and it's been fine since then.

Off and on the Computer
Go and start all over and follow line by line.
Someone has quoted me of using it too, check the comment above
You can see the Windows is about to start, if it repeats, then wait. You can leave it on and go and keep yourself busy if you have light or battery.
Re: Boot Device Not Found by Codes151(m): 9:32pm On Jun 27, 2022
Reinstall OS.

Or restore

No need to listen to thrash

after doing that for four Hours I finally switch it off...
Please in that pic, is that what I am going to click on?

Re: Boot Device Not Found by walexyf1(m): 11:20pm On Jun 27, 2022
I also have that same issue... When my system shut down. I guess the OS though my battery is also among the problem. I do go back to enable legacy support.
Greatzeus:

The problem was clearly stated In the message displayed on your screen.It says install operating system.
Your windows or Mac OS is your operating system. It's located on your PC hard drive.
You said it just shut down and showed that message,that is not true,unless you deleted your C: drive.
Solution:
1. Remove your hard drive and re- insert it
2. If it still the same,then re-install windows on your PC.

Re: Boot Device Not Found by yelinco1(m): 5:35am On Jun 28, 2022
The truth is that, RAM is not part of the options. The problem there is that of the operating system which is as a result of corrupt file or the hard disk not found. If your RAM is faulty, it won't even display anything on the screen and you'll here few short beep.

Computers have different versions, I don't understand your page, it is different from mine.
But if after clicking boot option and Enter, if this is the next page for Legacy Support you see, then click it then Enter.
Follow line by line, if you miss any line, you won't get the results.
You can press long on Power button to off computer
