 Load Profiles
If your system becomes unstable and you have loaded the BIOS default settings, you can
use this function to load the BIOS settings from a
profile created before, without the hassles of
reconfiguring the BIOS settings. First select the
profile you wish to load and then press
<Enter> to complete. You can select Select File in
HDD/FDD/USB to input the profile previously created
from your storage device or load the profile
automatically created by the BIOS, such as reverting the BIOS settings to the
last settings that worked properly (last known good record).
