If your computer started then re-started before the Bios handed over to windows, the bios thinks you have tried to alter some settings, and they have failed.
It wants you to check the bios settings then try again.
If you're not sure how the bios settings work, then just press F1, then in the bios settings screen, you can try to SAVE then EXIT (this will most probably work).
If it doesn't then you can choose LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, (this will load the fail safe settings, but will probably have an impact on performance)
Asus mainboards have this feature to stop you killing the board, with over-the-top performance settings.

Well I press f1 and it just loads windows normally
If I change somet in the BIOS will this affect anything on my pc?
yes it mentions car keys
as in go get the car keys and go get a bloke to fix it for you
im off to hide now before she sees that lol
Why did she buy if from a dodgy AccyWeber
may have but it wasnt me lol

It just mentions to press F1 to continue
Will have a look next time I boot it up to see if it says owt else
PS: No I didn't get it off no dodgy AccyWebber, dunno what I might get with it!
lolThe automatic keyboard loneliness routine causes this, as the F1 key is rarely used it needs to be pushed at least once a month just to confirm that its working properly, obviously your keyboard feels left out & wants it pushing even more. 
Chances are that you need to go into your CMOS/BIOS and save it (F10) then continue. Have you changed something recently before this started?

The hard drive
The F1 should no longer feel left out, wish it would just be happy with what it gets
Do you have a floppy drive installed. if so check there is no disk in.
If you don't have a floppy drive, then your BIOS will be looking for the floppy as a first boot option.
If you feel comfortable, you can alter the boot sequence, change the first boot device to hard drive, then save and exit. Don't change any other settings unless you know what they are for.
If you are still struggling you'll need to tell us what brand of bios you have. This will have a logo at the start. probably Phoenix or Award. Then somebody will tell you where exactly the boot settings are.

Do you have any external drives or memory sticks plugged in ( even happened on mine with memory card for camera) your system may be trying to boot from one of those if so unplug them all before booting and see if that helps x
Disable the floppy drive in the BIOS and save the BIOS settings. Make sure the machine is off and unplugged overnight then look at the BIOS setting for the floppy drive in the morning. If it's changed back to "enabled", your motherboard battery is dead.
It might also be a fault with the floppy drive itself.
Disconnect the power, open the case, pull the power and ribbon cable out of the floppy drive itself, reconnect everything and then disable the floppy drive in the BIOS during power up.
