Error includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM from the video
Option ROM controller. Selecting Enabled in the operating system does not support UEFI video output standards. This field is
available only for UEFI boot mode. You cannot set the option to Enabled if UEFI Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by default. The two other options
Characterization are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon detecting relevant change(s) in
system configuration to optimize system power and performance. ISC takes about 20 seconds to execute, and
system reset is needed for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot option executes ISC and continues
without applying ISC results until the next time system reset occurs. The Enabled option executes ISC and forces
an immediate system reset so that ISC results can be applied. It takes the system longer to be ready due to the
forced system reset. When disabled, ISC does not execute.
