RE: Computer starts only by pressing F1

I don't think this is the exact message. If this is the message that you are
receiving at the POST [First Screen when you turn on your PC] then it could
be because of Bad or Low CMOS battery. Try replacing the CMOS cell. Easily
located at your motherboard.

Hope this help, let us know!

RE: Computer starts only by pressing F1

Generally when a computer tells you to press F1 to start - it's because you
have "Stop on error" selected in the BIOS.

So, the fix would be to find out what the error is (usually it's on the
screen just before the F1 message and fix it.
