3.5    In Case of Problems 
 
If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving 
the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the com-
puter 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. 
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly under-
stand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section 
unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset 
defaults have been carefully chosen either by TYAN or your system 
manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly 
small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to 
become unstable or unusable.
