For example, if you have a processor that is rated to run at 450 MHz
and the system is running a frontside bus frequency of 100 MHz, you
should select a multiplier of 4.5 so that:
4.5 (Multiplier) x 100 MHz (frontside bus) = 450 MHz (CPU clock)
CPU Clock failed reset
Default: Disabled
When this item is enabled and the system crashes three times because
the processor has been overclocked, the BIOS will automatically adjust
the speed of the processor to the system bus speed multiplied by two.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe de-
faults for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and
then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter>
to not install the defaults. The fail-safe defaults place no great
demands on the system and are generally stable. If your system
is not functioning correctly, try installing the fail-safe defaults as
a first step in getting your system working properly again. If you
only want to install fail-safe defaults for a specific option, select
and display that option, and then press <F6>.
Load Optimized Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized
defaults for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y>
and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then
<Enter> to not install the defaults.
The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may
be greater than the performance level of the components, such
as the CPU and the memory. You can cause fatal errors or in-
stability if you install the optimized defaults when your hardware
does not support them. If you only want to install setup defaults
for a specific option, select and display that option, and then
press <F7>.
