Description of Problem

I've recently had a problem when booting my PC in which it'll take ages (1 minute or more sometimes) before showing a screen that displays system specifications and allows me to either:

"Press F1 to Run SETUP"
"Press F2 to Continue"

Pressing F2 just continues into a completely normal boot.

System Specification

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB TWIN FROZR
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
MOBO: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)

Thanks in advance :)
 
Solution
Sounds like your CMOS battery is dead. Go buy a new coin cell battery (take a photo of the one already in the motherboard) from your local hardware store
