P4M900-M7 FE bot sequence

[masterplots01]

I just built my decent computer for less than a third of the retail cost. Everything works fine, other than a few bugs I'm working through in Vista Home Basic 64. Everytime I restart, of course it takes me to the Bios screen, goes through the boot sequence and then stops. I must press the F1 Key to get to the desktop. How do I bypass this stoppage to go directly to the desktop without stopping after the boot sequence.

Thanks in Advance

What does it say on the screen when it stops?

Thanks for the reply, Mondoman.

On the last BIOS screen at stopage it says exactly, from top to bottom:

Thanks in advance for your time.

PS. Gonna remove the Floppy drive since I'll Probably never use it, and get an external just in case.

I removed the floppy and marked it (none) in the BIOS and all seems to be working properly now.
Thanks for your time, Mondoman.

Yep, that's what I would have suggested. I also use an external USB floppy.
