F1 prompt before windows boot?

I built a compter from scratch which works great. My question is, when I turn
the computer on before I get to windows boot screen I have to press F1 to
continue after which it will boot as normal. I'm sure it has something to do
with a bios setting but any ideas? I use XP Home Edt. Thanks In Advance.

That will happen if your CPU Frequency is not set correctly. Review that
part of your build and make sure that the
CPU and FSB are in Specs. If you are overclocking back down some.
