booting up problems

[Amin]

Hi i have installed a network adapter in my xp computer to have wireless,
after this installation the pc had a problem booting up and severeal it has
restarted within the boot process it finally boots up and i configured the
card and actually logged onto the net. however when i restarted the pc it
refused to boot up, all it does is boot and ask me tp press F1 to continue
and anytime i press it goes round and come back to the same point asking for
the F1 to be pressed to contiue. Now i have removed the card that i installed
in the hope that it may boot up but is not it just carries on with asking me
to press f1 to continue but it will never boot up. sometimes it comes up with
the choices for me to bootup in safe or the others mode but any of the
choices i have used has not really helped me what can i do to resolve this
proble guys.
thank you

Perhaps the F1 prompt is coming from the BIOS ?

If that is the case, then something is wrong before Windows attempts
to start. Maybe a fan cable got disconnected for example, and the BIOS
is trying to warn the user, that something in the Hardware Monitor window
(fan speeds, voltages, temperatures) is out of bounds. It is possible
something got displaced during the card installation.
