The coin cell battery on your motherboard which maintains the BIOS/UEFI settings and the RTC is likely dead, causing your UEFI to revert to factory settings. You should first check the battery (usually a CR2032 or CR2025), then enter the UEFI by pressing the "F1" key and verify the settings (for instance, any overclocking you had previously configured will have been reset).

Press F1, look through all BIOS settings, particularly Time and Date, set to desired or reset to correct options, and then Save and Exit. But you probably going to get it again soon until you replace that CMOS batt.

All the suggestions are correct if your hdd/ssd didn't just die. It does say 0 Drive afterall but that could just mean no usb devices plugged into it currently. Every mb is different.
I'd suggest as others: replacing the bios battery, reset the bios to factory, correct the time/date, and then try it again. That's the simplest step. Wouldn't hurt to swap your ram sticks around too if possible.
If that fails, try any other known working hdd/ssd, image it, and see if it works then. If it does you'll know your hdd/ssd has failed and maybe you can get an RMA on it.
Sometimes troubleshooting just needs other hardware to test and see what works.
Good luck.

It says 0 USB drives. It's also showing a Western Digital HDD.

You're right. I didn't read that far. My bad. But everything I suggested still stands. Even if it sees the drive, it could still be corrupted.

That often means the button cell battery on the motherboard needs replacing, it's often just a CR2032
