After pressing F1 to allow it to boot, have a look in Device Manager for any missing hardware.

ummm... when it askes you to press F1 it's saying that a critical part of the system isnt working properly. i had this issue when i setup my current computer, i didnt have the CPU fan plugged into power all of the way and it wasnt running and i didnt notice it and thought it was fine until it rebooted on me a time or two (good thing i had an awesome CPU fan and sweet computer case or it woulda burned to hell! lol).

anyway, if you know that you have some error with your computer you can disable that option in the BIOS... i suggest against it because it shows up for a reason. fix the reason then it will go away
