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.
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 Award BIOS setup utility. Select CPU Frequency
Control and set the CPU Clock/Spread Spectrum or CPU Ratio
field to its default setting or an appropriate bus clock or frequency
ratio.
Note:
Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter)
keyboard for method 2.
When using a 66MHz FSB processor, the system memory
clock is 3/2 of the CPUs external bus clock and the PCI
clock is 1/2 of the CPUs external bus clock.
When using a 100MHz FSB processor, the system memory
clock is the same as the CPUs external bus clock and the
PCI clock is 1/3 of the CPUs external bus clock.
When using a 133MHz FSB processor, the system memory
clock is 3/4 of the CPUs external bus clock and the PCI
clock is 1/4 of the CPUs external bus clock.
