In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS™ supports an override to the
CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this
end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.

These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer
to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small
change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
