laptop - Dell Inspiron 1525 - Internal hard disk drive not found

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop and every now and then it is shut down for no reason with this message on the screen:

internal hard disk drive not found
To resolve this issue, try to reseat the drive.

No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility
Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics.

If I just restart the computer it will boot up without problems. This happens about twice a day and it looks like it only happens when the computer has been idle for a few minutes.

I have already tried to reseated the drive, ran the onboard diagnostics and there were no errors.

Any ideas?

I have finally found the solution. The problem was caused by the Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter in my Dell Inspiron 1525.

Here's what I did:

1. Start


2. Control Panel


3. Device Manager


4. Expand "Network adapters"


5. Double-click "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter"


6. Click "Advanced"


7. Select "Wake-Up Mode" from the list


8. Change the value to "None"
