Sounds like your hard drive is either dead or the cable or interface is not making a good connection. The computer cannot read the main hard drive that contains the master boot record and the computer is searching for a boot device. The pxe-e61 is the computer searching for a network drive to boot from. It then goes to the next device in it's menu. Need to check the hard drive and all cables and / or interface connections. Go through the BIOS settings and make sure the computer default settings are reset.

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable

check your harddrive, is it detected in bios ?
if no, it could be motherboard or hdd, but most of the time is hdd problem, so just replace it.
if yes, your operating system is corrupt, so you can reload your operating system.
