From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
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.
Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying
It's too early to tell; you must investigate further.
Well - the screen seems to indicate that it might wanna duel you anyway
