In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.

CHAPTER 3 - BIOS SETUP

These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
