3.1.4 - 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 TYAN® 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.
3.1.5 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.
