"New CPU installed! Please enter setup to configure your system."

"Press F1 to enter setup"

"Press F2 to load default values and continue"

ASUS P5B + E2200

Any one may help?

F1 would probably be the BIOS,which you could enter,exit page,select "load
optimal settings" or load default settings,save and exit BIOS.Usually the
board
is pre-programmed as to which settings it will use,you might even enter BIOS,
save & exit,w/o making any changes at all.

If you didn't install a new processor, it may be as simple as replacing the
motherboard's CMOS battery. You will need to enter setup (F1 in your case)
afterwards to set the time/date. Unless you customized your BIOS, you won't
need to do anything else in there. Replacing the battery is a cheap and
easy troubleshooting step so do that first. If that doesn't solve the
issue, post back.
