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. 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
to cause the override to kick in.
4.5 Main Menu
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu
will appear on the screen. This allows you to select from several setup
functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the
items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.
