In Case of Problems
If you cannot boot the computer after using Setup to change and save system settings, the computer will
have to be repaired. It is safest not to change system settings you do not fully understand. Therefore, it is
strongly recommended that you do not change any of the default settings for the chipset. These defaults
have been selected with sufficient consideration by the AMI and system manufacturers to ensure
maximum performance and reliability. Even changing the chipset settings slightly can result in an
unavoidable need for repairs.
