Load Fail-Safe/Optimized Defaults
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS
settings to the default Fail-Safe or Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults
are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically for the
optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default
values set by the BIOS vendor for the stable system performance.
When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message as below appears:
