2. Where is it?
3. If poss, does anyone know if this is rebadged something or oother or where I can download a service manual for the thing.
Many thanks to anyone for some advice

1. Pass
2. Pass
3. If you read through the rest of the forum you will find the answer. Service manuals are not publicly available for the manufacturer's products.
The F1 request at boot could be a BIOS problem or mbr.
It is rare for the CMOS battery to fail in a relatively new system. Are the date and time changing?
Try entering the BIOS and then exit without saving see if it still happens.
