Load BIOS Defaults & Load Setup Defaults
These two items both set the BIOS settings back to their default values.
The difference between the two is that
BIOS Defaults
loads the most
conservative values, meaning that it is best to load the BIOS defaults
whenever you are experiencing problems; on the other hand,
Setup
Defaults
setting are optimized for speed and are usually the best settings
to load.
Default settings can be loaded through choosing one of two items after
which a message appears:
ÒLoad SETUP Defaults (Y/N)? NÓ
OR
ÒLoad BIOS Defaults (Y/N)?NÓ
Pressing <Enter> key will not load the defaults, you need to press Y and
then <Enter> key to load the default values.
