I seem to have now passed the phase where the message NTLDR is missing was a
problem at boot up. Now I get a new message 'Reboot & select proper boot
device or insert boot media in selected boot device' When I get this
message all I do is press reset & the machine reboots without a problem. I
only get the latest message if the PC has been turned of for a long time.

What does this message mean? My guess is that I have had these 2 different
messages due to something other than the obvious like motherboard problems.
Any ideas as to what the problem is?

I'd suspect a dodgy hard drive, before the motherboard.
