In Case of Problems
If it is not possible to boot the computer after system settings have been changed and saved during setup,
this product will need to be repaired.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly
recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully
chosen by both AMI and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and
reliability. If chipset settings are changed even slightly, it may become necessary to repair the unit.
