Award BIOS Setup Utility
3.1.9 Load Fail-Safe Defaults
The Load Fail-Safe Defaults option loads the troubleshooting
default values permanently stored in the ROM chips. These settings
are not optimal and turn off all high performance features. You
should use these values only if you have hardware problems.
Highlight this option in the main menu and press <Enter>. The
message below will appear.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults (Y/N)? N
If you want to proceed, type <Y> and press <Enter>. The default
settings will be loaded.
If, in the CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) field, you selected an option
other than the default setting and is unable to boot up the system,
there are 2 methods of booting up the system and going back to
its default setting.
Method 1:
Clear the CMOS data by setting JBAT1 to 2-3 On. All fields in the
BIOS Setup will automatically be set to their default settings.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and power button simultaneously, then release
the power button first. Keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the
power-on screen appears. This will allow the system to boot according
to the FSB of the processor. Now press the <Del> key to enter the
main menu of the BIOS. Select Frequency/Voltage Control and set the
CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) field to its default setting or an
appropriate bus clock.
Note:
Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter)
keyboard for method 2.
