In Case of Problems
If you discover that you have trouble booting the computer after making and saving
the changes with the BIOS setup program, 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 sure of the
outcome. TYAN or your system manufacturer has carefully chosen the chipset
defaults for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the
Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.
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.
