you load the defaults. Select <OK> and then press <Enter> to load the 

defaults. Select <Cancel> and press <Enter>, it will not load. 
By this default, BIOS have set the optimal performance parameters of system to improve the 
performances of system components. But if the optimal performance parameters to be set cannot 
be supported by your hardware devices (for example, too many expansion cards were installed), 
the system might fail to work.
