3.1.2 Getting Help
Pressing [ F1 ] will display a small help window that describes the appropriate
keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help
Window, press [
ESC ] or the [ F1 ] key again.
3.1.3 In Case of Problems
If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes
with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power
button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by
pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In
particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are
absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully
chosen either by MiTAC or your system manufacturer for best performance and
reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may
cause the system to become unstable or unusable.
3.1.4 Setup Variations
Not all systems have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic
look and function of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most
systems, the appearance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown
in this section. Each system design and chipset combination requires a custom
configuration. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on
the system designer. Your system designer may decide that certain items should
not be available for user configuration, and remove them from the BIOS setup
program.
