Press F1 to continue message .
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter setup" it's likely that your CMOS is corrupt. When you see that message, go into CMOS (press DEL) and then hit F10 to save and exit and unless your battery is weak, you should not see that again. You don't have to change anything - go into it and save and exit. That's all there is to it.
