3.5 In Case of Problems
If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving
the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the com-
puter by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off
(usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or
clearing the CMOS.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly under-
stand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section
unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset
defaults have been carefully chosen either by TYAN or your system
manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly
small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to
become unstable or unusable.
NOTE: The following pages provide the details of BIOS menu.
Please be noticed that the BIOS menu are continually changing
due to the BIOS updating. The BIOS menu provided are the
most updated when this manual is written. Please visit Tyan’s
website at http://www.tyan.com
for the information of BIOS
updating.
