In Case of Problems
If you discover that you have trouble starting the computer after making and saving changes with
the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by either:
Ø
Holding the Power button down until the machine turns off .
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not
change settings in the Chipset section unless you’re absolutely sure you need to. The Chipset
defaults were carefully chosen by TYAN and or your system manufacturer for the best
performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to anyone of the Chipset options
without consideration, can cause your system to become unstable immediately or progressively.
