I can't make a screenshot cos this occurs a few seconds after i hit the reboot or turn off button.

No,all of the disquette ribbons have been taken off

In one of the options advanced chipset features or motheboard options it should say something like:

boot device 1: cd drive
boot device 2: hard disk
boot device 3: floppy drive

look around the bios for anything like that if you see floppy click it then choose disable.

If you only see cd drive and hard disk then as someone said you might have just left something in your pc case.
