I made some changes to my BIOS, some time ago and now if I re-boot I have to
press F1 to continue or it just stops at the opening screen.
MS 7030, AMD 64,3200+, BIOS - Phoenix 6.00PG, 1Gb.
How can I remove the F1 halt?

Did you try undoing your changes?

And if you can't remember exactly what you changed,(not uncommon at all)
there will be some message saying "Cannot find floppy drive" or
something along those lines. I doubt very much that "Press f1 to
continue" will be the only error message.

Also, how long between making the changes and getting the error message?
Immediately or some time? If some time, it is more likely to be a
hardware failure, such the floppy drive.

It is likely your BIOS CMOS memory has been corrupted. Probably due to a
flat battery on the motherboard. But given your motherboard is quite new,
it may be another fault.

It may be simple corruption of some settings. As often happens after
flashing the bios. Go into the BIOS settings, load default settings, save
and exit.

Loaded default settings and has got rid of the F1 hold. I'm returning to my
previous settings one change at a time and writing down each change.
Thanks
