Users please use the factory BIOS default setting of “Load optimized

Defaults” when install Operation System onto your system.

and then press <F7>.

3.3-10 Load Optimized Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all

appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to

install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the de-

faults. The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may be

greater than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU

and the memory. When your hardware doesn’t support the “Optimized

Defaults”, fatal system errors or instability may occur. If you only want to

install setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that option,

3.3-9 Load Performance

If you select this item and press Enter a dialog box will appear. If you select

[OK], and then Enter, the Setup Utility loads a set of performance default

values. These default settings are quite demanding and your system might

not function properly if you are using slower CPU, memory, or other low-

performance components.

Warning: To load Performance settings may make your system become unstable

or unbootable. When loading the Performance Defaults fails, users can choose

“either” step below to return the motherboard to its default BIOS:

1. Reset the system and enter the CMOS setup to reset the CPU frequency.

2. Power on the system and press “Insert” key. The system will bypass the

previous BIOS setting and automatically reload the default BIOS. (This

procedure is BIOS setup only!)

3. Locate the “Clear CMOS” jumper and proceed with the “Clear CMOS” to

recover the default BIOS setting. Please refer to Chapter 1, page 1- 13, to

complete the clear CMOS action. (This procedure requires opening the

chasis!)
