In Case of Problems
If you discover that you have trouble starting the computer after making and saving changes with
the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by either:
Ø
Holding the Power button down until the machine turns off.
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not
change settings in the Chipset section unless you're absolutely sure you need to. The Chipset
defaults were carefully chosen by Tyan and or your system manufacturer for the best performance
and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to anyone of the Chipset options without
consideration, can cause your system to become unstable immediately or progressively.
When physically removing a boot device that is entered in the Boot
Devices BIOS menu, you will need to re-enter the BIOS and set the
BIOS to "Load Defaults", otherwise your BIOS may not operate
correctly.
