BIOS Setup

The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You may need to run the Setup program when:

An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP.

You want to change the default settings for customized features.

Important

Please load the default settings to restore the optimal system performance and stability if the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings. Select the "Restore Defaults" and press <Enter> in BIOS to load the default settings.

If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due to inappropriate BIOS configuration.

Entering BIOS Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start the Power On Self Test (POST) process. When the message below appears on the screen, please <DEL> key to enter BIOS:

Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot Menu

If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS, restart the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

MSI additionally provides two methods to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the “GO2BIOS” tab on “MSI Fast Boot” utility screen or press the physical “GO2BIOS" button (optional) on the motherboard to enable the system going to BIOS setup directly at next boot.

Click "GO2BIOS" tab on "MSI Fast

Boot" utility screen.

Important

Please be sure to install the “MSI Fast Boot” utility before using it to enter the BIOS setup.
