What do you mean it 'cuts out'? Shuts off completely? Restarts? Locks up? Little monkeys in WWII fighter planes come flying out of it?

Give as much detail as possible, including full computer specs, any error messages, etc. Sometimes the smallest overlooked details can explain a big problem.

When you have to press F1 to continue booting, is there some error message on the screen?

Needing to press F1 during booting usually occurs during the POST (power on self test) and indicates that there was some kind of error.
