Load Fail-Safe/Optimized Defaults

The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to the default Fail-Safe or Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically for the optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default values set by the BIOS vendor for the stable system performance.

When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message as below appears:
