My Mac book pro has a blank white screen with an occasional flashing folder. How can I fix this.

At startup of Macbook pro, a white screen appears with no apple logo. Soon a flashing folder will appear.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I had this problem about a year ago. What's going on is the sata cable connecting the hard drive to the mother board is having problems. What I ended up doing was buying a new one from Amazon. Eventually I went ahead and installed an SSD too. I would definitely try Niel's suggestion first, but if you keep having problems you may just want to get a new cable. Hope everything works!
