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 AwardBIOS 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. 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.
