I've tried to go to the setup and even BBS POPUP but it just doesn't work, it doesn't leave this...

i've seen a couple cases where a USB drive was left plugged in that caused the same. Also seen SATA serial cables cause the BIOS to wait forever for a HD response. Easy test - try 1 from a known good machine or even DVD drive if it has one. Look carefully for hairline cracks on the thin side opposite the actual conductors.

Do you have more then one internal HDD installed on the computer?
Do you have a USB HDD or Flash drive installed on the computer?
The message is saying that the Bios is trying to detect a Secondary Master Drive and it is not finding it and not proceeding with the boot.
As stated remove all USB Mass Storage Devices (eg) Flash drives, USB HDD's, Camera's, Phones etc. Not Keyboard or Mouse.
Restart the computer and press the Del key to boot into Setup (Bios) On the Main page, It should list all of your internal drives on the computer. What is the Secondary Master? It may be a CD/DVD rom drive or a secondary HDD? Does it recognize your Primary Master? Please attach a pic of this in your next post.
