Hey, i was gaming on my laptop then the power suddenly cuts off (it somtimes does this and i turn back on and its fine) but this time i turn back on and i get "cant find operating system" then i look in the POST and i get System BIOS Shadowed, Video BIOS Shadowed...Then it freezes and i get the "Cant find operating system" i havnt got a clue why, its an acer aspire 5630 and i havnt installed anything new on it, was just playing mir 3 -.-

Turns out it is most likely a hard drive problem as my friend took his hard drive out to see if he got the same error and he did. so i think ill have to buy a new hard drive untill i get my new computer in december.

You also have a problem with your system board, its one of the biggest common faults with Acer system boards - System BIOS Shadowed and Video BIOS Shadowed .
