Press F1 to continue when computer starts
when i start my CPU there is a message always appearing on my screen
“Press F1 to proceed”
how can i set that on my bios to continued booting and not to press F1 before it continues?
What’s happening is your BIOS, the part of the system that remembers all your settings and handles the initial start up of the computer, keeps forgetting the computer settings.
This is almost certainly a flat battery on the motherboard. Most motherboards use a watch battery to keep the BIOS chip charged while the power is off. When the battery goes flat, the BIOS resets.
It’s probably best to take the system to a computer tech who can replace the battery and check your BIOS settings.

In your case Sanjeev, the system has detected your hard drive has been changed and needs you to confirm the changes or enter the new settings.
You’ll have to go into the BIOS and change your hard drive settings.
