Then i decided to work like a geek and started working on this error from all possible ways and i finally managed to overcome with this No boot filename received error without even loosing single KB file from my hard drive.

This kind of No boot filename received errors can be seen on all Windows operating systems like Windows XP, Windows7 and on Windows Vista

Why you see PXE-E53 No boot filename received error?

no boot file name received

Answer for this question is simple, your computer is unable to find any bootable device so it tried the last choice  PXE server. As you are not using PXE server, PC failed to boot from it and struck at error screen.

How to work in order to fix No boot filename received error?

We can’t say exactly what is the reason behind this error PXE-E53 No boot filename received. May be due to glitch in hard drive or Motherboard or Dust or even in old wires.

Start with Hard drive

Don’t panic now, mostly this error say, Your Hard drive is dead. I’m sorry to say, if it was reason for error in your system you are surely going to lose entire data in your hard disk. So i always recommend to take backups frequently. I hope you are not in this phase.

To check whether your hard drive is dead or alive, remove it from the effect computer and connect to another working computer using USB and check, if new hard drive is shown in working computer. If your answer is Yes, you are almost safe. Now perform diagnosis test, if passed your data is completely safe. This says hard drive is still alive

Check CD/DVD drive and BOOT settings

Immediately rush to BOOT setting. Press F1 or F8 or ESC depending on your PC company while computer starts booting. Check first boot device, it should be hard drive. If it was other than it changing it is mandatory. In case if first boot device is selected as CD drive, there must be disk in CD drive. However leave it and set first boot device as Hard disk

Clean the dust

Dust may also cause this No boot filename received error. Use a blower and remove dust from cabinet and mainly at motherboard and hard drive. Don’t think dust plays key role in this issue, i solved my problem by cleaning the dust in between hard drive cables

Check all cables

hard disk cables

Check connectivity cables between motherboard and hard disk and ensure they are working fine without any short circuits. Better check with new cable or else check old cable on other working computer.

Check your Motherboard

If your hard drive passed the diagnosis test, cables working fine and first boot device is perfect then mostly problem persists with motherboard.

Follow this order and check your luck and i hope this No boot filename received error won’t create any trouble for you and this guide helps to solve your problem.

    In my case I got this error while deploying a VM in ESXi. I got the iso image from disc, but I had forgotten to click on “Connect at power on” on the “CD/DVD drive” tab. When I checked this box, no more errors.

      If you have important data on the hard disk, connect to it another PC or Laptop as external hard drive. It helps you backing up important files easily
      Use HDD to USB connecter (https://amzn.to/2ytfVye) to use it as external hard drive

    Sigh… This does not solve the problem I’m having… Seems like once you search for this error message you just find “solutions” that boots from harddrive before network… I’m actually having troubles getting my PXE-environment set up correctly! (I guess I’m a minority though)

    First time I just format my harddisk… Only the partition that I installed the OS (Operating System). And I get my harddisk back…

    During second time, I didn’t format it . I just shut down my pc and restart after 2-3 min. I got it back pc back…
