sounds like the bios is asking for a confirmation .... about something or other
it would help to know what some of the writing says ..
if it IS the bios there are two possibilities....
something has changed ... because it's faulty
how old is the machine?
if the battery goes flat ... and the machine isn't used all the time ... the bios gets amnesia and forgets - so it will say something like
blah blah blah press f1 to configure or f2 to continue
