Option Description
Previous Boot Detects if a boot sequence was not completed properly, if Enabled. An incomplete boot may
be caused by a power failure, a reset during bootup, or an invalid CMOS configuration. If the
BIOS detects this condition, it will display the following message: Previous boot incomplete
– Default configuration used. The system will be rebooted using the default configuration. If
this option is Disabled, the system BIOS will not detect an incomplete boot. As a result, the
system may not boot if the CMOS settings are wrong. The default is Disabled.
