You're stuck in the BIOS by the sounds of it. Are there any more error messages along with the 'F1 to continue' message? This usually indicates a problem with the BIOS being able to remember its settings, and may be solved by replacing the button cell clipped into the motherboard. The button cell is almost always a CR2032. If the BIOS Setup shows an incorrect date, a new battery should fix it.
If you do replace the battery, then you will have to put your BIOS settings back in again; nowadays most computers can figure everything out for themselves, but there are some settings (such as power-save) that you may want to tweak. There may also be a setting to enable for keyboard and mouse 'legacy USB mode' which allows a USB keyboard and mouse to be used in environments that don't support USB - such as the XP/Vista pre-boot screen!
By the way, if you hit F1, doesn't that allow you to boot, or does the computer just reboot?

It has been a long time since I have seen that message but it used to follow a message that said "Keyboard not found". Maybe your keyboard is bad, or if wireless the battery is dead or just disconnected..
