After my computer goes through the Memory Test I now have to press F1 to get it to continue because I get the following message...."confilict I/O ports:2F8 Detect IDE" and at the bottom of the message it says to hit F1 to continue. Is there a way I can correct this? Thanks!

Startup Memory Test

2F8 is the memory address commonly used by serial port 2 (COM2), so I would go into the BIOS and check your COM port settings...If you have 2 COM ports make sure COM1 is 3F8/IRQ4 and COM2 is 2F8/IRQ3, and the part about detect IDE makes no sense in relation to 2F8, but if your BIOS has an IDE detection option built-in (and most do), I would have it rescan/redetect your IDE devices then save and exit if the detection is successful. If all of that fails I would check your motherboard manufacturer's website for a BIOS update or any mention of the error you are receiving. It may also be worth changing the CMOS battery if that is an option.
Good luck...
