If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the AMI 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 AMI 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.
