If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer is no longer able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the
CMOS settings which can reset your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to alter only the settings which you thoroughly understand. To
this end, we strongly recommend not to make any changes to the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and the system
manufacturer to provide the optimum performance and reliability. Even a
seemingly little change to the chipset setup may shut the system down and need
the override program to reset it.
