How do I stop the "F1" prompt when starting my computer?

[fueledbymetal]

I have a EPoX nforce4 ultra motherboard and have an "F1" prompt to continue every time I start up. It was great when I first built my computer becasue it gave me a chance to check all of the measured parameters to make sure everything was working properly, but now that everything is running smoothly I'd rather the computer just booted up windows automatically. I tried going through the mnotherboard setup options without any luck. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Does it say anything like 'Floppy Disk Drive Not Found'? Disabling the Floppy Disk Drive worked for me. (I had one installed, removed it and that's when the message started popping. Had to disable it in BIOS.)

That's all that's coming to my mind right now.

try going into the BIOS & setting optimised defaults.
if that doesn't work try clearing CMOS.

Why not acknowledge the complaint it has right above the "Press F1" prompt, and try to fix whatever it is that makes it complain?

Like Peter said, or you could tell us what the prompt message is and then someone could tell you how to fix it.

Look in the bios for these settings or something similar:

"stop (or halt) on errors"
"All but keyboard"

But by saying that's the problem would suggest theres a problem the BIOS detects from the beginning, short of it asking for a floppy drive that doesn't exist or something.
