865GM2 need to press F1 during start up?

Hi
First post !
i'm new around here & to PC's in general. Have just made my first system with a 865GM2-LS MB with XP PRO. Everything is going fine except that i need to press F1 when I start it as it stops on what I assume is the BIOS load page?
Have searched & read the manual but can't find a solution, any ideas? i think it maybe a setting in BIOS?
TIA

Please disable the Floppy Drive Seek item in the bios. Then there will not be the hints for you. You may do it according to the manual.

TS1365 My MacBook Pro won't reboot on my optical drive eventhough i press "C" during start?

I tried to reboot on my optical drive by pressing "C" on restar but would appear apple logo nd just freezes it there. I have parallel 8 with windows 8 on my MacBookPro.

That would mean that either the media can't be read withour error, or the system contained therein is incompatible with your Mac.
For example, I own a Snow Leopard upgrade box I bought when that cat came out. It contains a 10.6.0 system. However, my current Mac tries to boot from it and doesn't get past a white screen like you describe. It appears I would need a 10.6.5 or so as a minimum OS for it to boot, given my Mac's firmware.
If feasible, try booting off the media in another Mac.

Imac shows super weird lines on screen during start up and then freezes at blue screen (WITH PHOTO)

My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?
Thanks! Any input is welcome.

Is this the same problem? Verical Lines" seems a bit diffuse. I've seached for a similar question and found a lot of other types of lines and stripes.
Could this be a solution?

If so, how do I install the update if I can't get passed the blue screen? Can I start my Imac in safe mode? How?
iMac (Mid 2011): Unresponsive white screen on startup or vertical lines on screen
Symptoms

Resolution
Install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0 if your computer exhibits these issues. To install the update, chooseSoftware Update from the Apple () menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
Important: Do not interrupt the power to the computer while the update is installing. After the update is finished installing, you will need to restart your iMac.

Carriage jam, excessive start-up activities and rapid ink usage during start-up

Hi,
I've had a B110A for over 12 months now and every time I use the printer the following happens:
1) carriage jamming............. multiple times [up to 10 times] before it decides to print
2) Lots of roller movement before printing - forwards, backwards, slow, fast
3) lots of printer head cleaning before printing
This is the first HP product I'm getting really fed up with.
Also I get a message from W7 64 bit that the device is not properly installed and it cannot find a suitable device driver fom windows update
I've tried all the on-line HP solutions to no avail and getting nowhere
I am seriously minded to throw this device in the bin and - perhaps - move to another all-in-one make
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I can't answer your first question but for 2 and 3, both are the weak of inkjet printers, they all need to "drink" inks during start up to do many things including clean those print heads. One suggestion is to keep printer ON all the time to save inks but there is a trade off for this.
My suggestion: Go to this site to download driver and application and then reintstall it on your computer. Hope this helps:

Need to perform a hardware test, but pressing D during startup is fruitless

I've got some sort of glitch I need to work through. I'm assuming it's hardware related, and I directly suspect the GPU, or maybe a lose connection thereto (symptoms are coming and going). Symptoms coincided directly with an OSX update to 10.9.4, but that might just be incidental. Unfortunately, upon startup, I can't load into the Hardware Tester/Diagnostics tool... pressing 'D' during startup leads me to looking at a grey screen for about half a minute, then the MBP just decides to load into OSX. I've tried to perform this test about ten times now - same result each time.
Here's a couple of pictures of my screen when the issue is playing up. It's obviously rendering the computer unusable:

I'm trying for a combo update reinstall of 10.9.4 right now. But if you have any other advice i'm all ears.

Yes. In one of those photos i've provided it's the OSX recovery screen that is bugging out. I seem to have a 50/50 hit rate in getting through - like I said - the symptoms are coming and going. Once within OSX recovery menu i've fired up disk utilities to make sure i'm not dealing with a dying HD - disk utility is suggesting my HD is in perfect health and perfect working order.
I just followed through with reinstalling the 10.9.4 combo update too - I still can't perform a hardware test.

Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer. I did a cmnd R but worried it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS. Is there a risk at cmnd R will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer - MacBook Pro with lion.
I did a command r after doing some research but got nervous that it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS.
I was nervous because it asked me for language for software use before any options were presented (such as repair via disk utility). It looked similar to an OS install.So I powered off....Is there a risk at command r will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion

You could try a reset and see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it doesn't then you could try restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults. But if it's a hardware issue then you will need to contact Apple.

MBP 17" running OS10.9.2....... how do I reformat it and then instal OS 10.6.8 on it.... have put in SL disc and pressed C when starting but I cannot install the OS

I have MBP 17" running OS 10.9.2....... I need to have OS 10.6.8 so I can contiue running Quicken 2006. I have this on my Mac Pro but am switching to iMac and hence will dedicate laptop to finances. I pressed option when starting and got disk utilities and erased the HD..... I put in the Snow Leopard disc and pressed C when starting but then when I try and install it shows icon of my HD and says I cannot start up from that disk....... I get the same thing when I insert the #1 instal disc that came with the computer. How do I instal OS 10.6.8 (if I go recovery mode it will insatll 10.9.2 which I don't want on this laptop.
Thanks for any help.

The grey disk says OS 10.6...... i tried it as well as the SL disk with the C pressed....... what happens is that it directs you to agree etc and then asks where you want it installed..... the icon of the computer HD however has the yellow exclammation sign saying I cannot start from that disk.
My super drive is working.......
Since I need to get to Quicken for taxes etc what I have done presently is formatted a LaCie rugged drive, partitioned it and when I attach that drive to the MBP and start up again I was able to install on the external drive....I am presently downloading the combo upgrade that will take me to 10.6.8
I still don't understand why it wont instal on the MBP I i know you cannot go earlier than what the machine shipped with but since this is 10.6 it should.I have a Mac Pro with one internal drive running 10.9.2 and the other 10.6.8 and I'd select the earlier system to start when I wanted to do my finances. I have upgraded to an iMac and hence cannot use that for acessing the earlier system
Interestingly, I partitioned another LaCie drive and was able when running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro to install on the external drive...... however when selecting that ext. HD for starting it never did restart with it , always restartd using the 10.9.2 system that was actiually on the other disc.

Blackberry Desktop Software - Request Option to Disable Software from Loading During Start-Up

After Blackberry Desktop Software automatic updates. Software become part of Start-Up option or menu. I do not want Blackberry Desktop Software to automatically load during Start-Up. The Desktop Software does not have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. Am writing you to add this feature to your desktop software. I've just completed loading v5.0.1 and again I need to hunt and peck a way through windows to delete this software from loading during start-up. This software needs to have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. When I loaded v4.x.x when I bought my blackberry your set-up wizard had this disable option, but all your subsequent software upgrades change my windows start-up to load blackberry desktop manager software. Please add this feature to your software.

HT1310 I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up.

I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up. I can choose which startup up disk when I'm already booted up from settings --> Startup Disk but how do I know if my Macintosh HD internal drive disk fails I'll be able to boot from my supposedly bootable backup drive?
What am I missing? I have the latest Mountain Lion, could this be bug in that new Op System?
Does the startup drive list (before bootup) only show up if the Macintosh HD is not bootable (crashed or broken)?
Dave

Replugging my keyboard into my front USB2 slot was half the solution. I had my keyboard plugged into a KVM switch which goes into the back. The other half was that I needed to unplug my backup firewire hard drive from the front port to a chained drive with the source hooked into the back of the Mac Pro. Not sure if it was the cable or the firewire slot that gummed up the hardware startup hard drive selection diaglog.
I also tried resetting the NVRAM and only got one Mac startup sound. That didn't seem to do it but then again it could of been a necessary condition as well.
Thanks everyone for your help.
