Press ++ simultaneously.
Press the reset button on the system chassis.
Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. Do this option only

if you failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.

NOTE: Using the power button, reset button, or the ++ keys

to reboot a running operating system can cause damage to your data or system.

Always shut down the system properly from the operating system.

IMPORTANT:

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply to most working

conditions and ensures optimal performance. If the system becomes

unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to

regain system stability. Select the option Restore Defaults under the Save

& Exit Menu. See section 3.7 Exit Menu.
