How to stop Computer from displaying "PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE" during boot

Hello, as it is usually the case, there are several reasons why this happens. From my experience as a Computer Engineer, I had in the past faced various challenges in IT Repairs/troubleshooting jobs. Sometimes I join some forum/fora on the internet which have not been really helpful. And so through trial and error, I was able to determine and solve the reason(s) why we frequently get this message “Press F1 To Continue” immediately you power on your computer.

There are two common reasons why you get this message “Press F1 To Continue” The first can happen after installing new hardware in your system e.g Keyboard, CDROM, RAM, VGA Card e.t.c. The BIOS in your system has to verify that the new detected hardware is properly setup. If this is why it is happening, all you have to do is to enter BIOS setup and save the new settings, then exit and restart. Have you installed any new hardware recently? If yes then follow the steps above.

If you haven’t installed any hardware recently and you keep getting this error, check your computer time and date if they are okay. After setting the time and date, reboot the system and check the time/date setting again; if it goes back to the former date and time, then chances are your CMOS battery is starting to die. The solution for that is to change the CMOS battery and the problem will definitely be solved.
