Load Fail-Safe Defaults

The Load Fail-Safe Defaults option loads the troubleshooting default 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
