Hey, not a major issue, but an annoying one.

When my computer begins to POST..... is stops and asks me to press F1 to continue, or Delete to enter setup. The annoying part, is it sits there and waits for me to press a button.

If I turn the computer on as i walk by, and come back 5 mins later, it is still waiting.

I couldn't find an option in the BIOS.... did i miss it?
 
The F1 to continue issue, means it is stopping on error (sometimes stated as " stop on all errors" in Bios setup)
It may be something as simple as "Floppy enabled" when you don't have a floppy drive
Or it can be as critical as a HardDrive not being picked up properly by the boot order
Sometimes it can even be a CMOS battery (on PCs) that requires replacing

haha damn floppy drive was enabled.

I looked at the stupid computer and said "WHAT FLOPPY DRIVE!"

Thanks Kim.
