Can you give a little more background info? What distro are you using, are you dual booting, is it a new install, did you make changes to your kernel, your partitions or grub before that?

While it's clear that grub couldn't find a kernel to boot, we need these Infos to help you find a solution.

Im using kde I did not even use my pc the last few days I came home it froze and when i rebooted i got this I do NOT have any duel boot

You may want to replace the disk on that computer after you fix your boot. (As people said, with a recovery drive, probably the same one you use to install.)

After your computer is back, get a SMART client (like smartmontools) and check your disk status.

So new hdd time

Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying

Probably, yeah. Depends on a few other things (drive age, SMART test results, how risk-averse you are…)

But at least it’s worth thinking about.

It's too early to tell; you must investigate further.

Well - the screen seems to indicate that it might wanna duel you anyway
