ven the F1 message comes up on an Intel board it usually means that there is an error in the BIOS setup.

try this :

go 2 d bios and check the boot order of your hard drives, make sure that system hard drive is listed first. try now.

else reset the bios settings to defaults and try.

else u may have to replace the cmos battery on the motherboard.
