In Case of Problems If you discover that you have trouble booting the computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS (see p. 8). The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure you need to. The Chipset defaults were carefully chosen by TYAN or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable. Setup Variations Not all systems have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic look and function of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most systems, the appearance of your Setup screen may differ from the screen shown here. Each system design and chipset combination requires custom configurations. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on your system designer. Your system designer can decide that certain items should not be available for user configuration, and remove them from the BIOS setup program.
