Load Fail-Safe Defaults

The “Load Fail-Safe Defaults” option loads the troubleshooting de-
fault values permanently stored in the ROM chips. These settings are
not optimal and turn off all high performance features. You should
use these values only if you have hardware problems. Highlight this
option in the main menu and press <Enter>.

If you want to proceed, type <Y> and press <Enter>. The default
settings will be loaded.
