In the BIOS, choose "Optimized Defaults" F9. This will restore the BIOS settings back to default. Save and Exit. The PC should reboot.
The default boot order, typically puts the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device...ensure there is no disc in the drive.

I've tried that, there's is no cd/dvd tray, I took the laptop apart checked the connections.

Booting directly into the BIOS could be the BIOS battery or a hardware fault.
The "Disk Read Error" would likely be a hardware fault or the HDD is faulty/not connected properly.
Neither of those should have caused the initial problem, which could have been a simple software glitch or a sign of an underlying hardware fault.

Replace the CMOS battery and see. That might solve the bios popping up problem.
