I turned on my computer, it shows me this message
CHECKING MEDIA PRESENCE, NO MEDIA FOUND
then puts me into the UEFI BIOS menu, when I exit it, my monitors and it's just black.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you boot into the BIOS, check it’s registering your os drive and that’s set as the primary boot device in the boot menu

No image attached? Is it showing your boot drive?

Is this a new PC or has this only just happened?

The image is too big, it's showing me UEFI: PXE IPV4 INTEL(R) I211 GIGABIT NETWORK CONNECTION
UEFI: PXE IPV6 INTEL(R) I211 GIGABIT NETWORK CONNECTION

I've had it for a while

Neither of those is a drive.

Is it showing your boot drive at all?

So if you go back to the boot menu, disable PXE boot (that's searching for a boot image over your network which is what corporations use to push out windows images), and see if you can add the Samsung drive

Again, was there any precursor to this? Did you update BIOS or play with the internals at all?

I've disabled PXE, in the drop down menu it only shows those two, it's not showing my Samsung drive,

I haven't touched the internals or updated the bios

For whatever reason, it appears the boot partition has disappeared from your OS drive, but you state it's being shown in the drive information

This suggests the drive is there, but has been entirely erased somehow

Try clean installing. If that's failing to read the drive, then it points to drive failure.
