Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup
3.12 Save & Exit Setup
If you select this and press <Enter>, the values entered in the setup utilities will be
recorded in the CMOS memory of the chipset. The processor will check this every
time you turn your system on and compare this to what it finds as it checks the sys-
tem. This record is required for the system to operate.
3.13 Exit Without Saving
Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> lets you exit the setup program without
recording any new values or changing old ones.
Note! The screen flickers when switching from BIOS to Windows, which is nor-
mal for AMD platforms. This is due to the display switching from text
mode to GUI mode.
