OK, first off charge your battery and try again. Probably won't do anything but low power does cause problems. Second, check to make sure the mirror isn't stuck on its stop. If it doesn't move up and down freely, there may be a problem with the mirror. Finally, usual cause is motor failure in the aperture unit or shutter failure. If you can lift the mirror, lift it gently and make sure the shutter blades are laying flat. Unfortunately Nikon stopped selling parts over a year ago so you would have to send it to Nikon.

Take the lens off and continue pressing the shutter untill it doesn't react anymore, you should then have a normal menu without the error message.Put your lens on and you're all sorted.Cheaper and less hassle than sending it to Nikon.

Sounds like some software error.
Try updating the firmware for your Nikon D40 camera.
