Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M user manual Bios Setup

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program. The program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery -backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

ENTERINGSETUP

Powering ON the computer and pressing <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. If you require more advanced B IO S settings, please go to " Adv anced BI O S" setting menu. To enter Advanced BIOS setting menu, press "Ctrl+F1" key on the BIOS screen.

When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.

Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.

@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.
