PXE-E61 errors are related to the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) that is supported by some motherboards. PXE is a special boot mode that allows the computer to search for and load a bootable operating system over the network instead of from a local hard drive.
How to Fix "PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, Check Cable" Error PXE-M0F Problem: Exit PXE ROM
It is common to see a PXE-E61 error message on a computer that is unintentionally trying to boot to a network device when in fact there is no network device. This is often caused by a misconfigured setting in the BIOS, but can also be caused by a failing hard drive.
Change the boot order in BIOS to boot from the hard drive instead of the network. This forces BIOS to look for an operating system installed on a local hard drive, which is how most computers are set up.
Go to BIOS and make sure it can detect the hard drive. You may see the PXE-E61 error if the computer is trying to boot from a hard drive that is not working or is disconnected.
