How long have you had Bitcoin Core open for? That message just means that it isn't currently connected to any nodes to download the blockchain from. If you let it run for a few more minutes it should connect to some nodes and start downloading.

for first, check if firewall is blocking qt-wallet. Stop it, open qt-wallet. If the problem is solved, add new rule to firewall.
second, try to addnode from debug console.
this is the sintax "addnode <node> <add/remove/onetry>"
if it fix the problem add a new line with addnode=1.2.3.4 in your %appData%\bitcoin\bitcoin.conf...

hope it work!!!

If this issue gets too extreme, manually add nodes.
Go to the top bar, find the help bar,  open the debug window, Google bitcoin active nodes and type "add node (IP address) add" Of course it might be your firewall. Just restart the client and wait a minute or five.
