[. . . ] Leave this item at its default [Disabled] settings for OS like Windows XP. C1E Function This item appears only for certain processors with the C1E (Enhanced Halt State) Function. When set to [Enabled], the processor will further reduce the total power consumption. Execute Disable Bit This item appears only for certain processors with the Execute Disable Bit (XD bit) feature. When set to [Enabled], this item allows the processor to prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to execute code and provide memory protection. virtualization Technology This option enables or disables the additional hardware capabilities provided by Virtualization Technology. EIST Function This item appears only for certain processors with the EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) Function. When set to [Enabled], EIST will dynamically switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to optimize the power and performance balance of the processor and system based on demand. By pressing <Enter> key, you can enter its submenu where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up system. This item functions only when there is the option of [Hard Disk] in any one of the First/Second/Third Boot Device items. First Boot Device / Second Boot Device / Third Boot Device / Boot Other Device Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the [First Boot Device], [Second Boot Device], and [Third Boot Device] items respectively. the BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. Set [Boot Other Device] to [Enabled] if you wish to boot from another device other than these three items. Security Option This item determines when the system will prompt for password - every time the system boots or only when enters the BIOS setup. If you forget the password, you will have to open the computer case and clear all information in the CMOS before you can start up the system. MPS Version Ctrl For OS This item specifies which version of MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) this motherboard will use. Delay IDE Initial (Secs) This item allows the BIOS to support some old or special IDE devices by prolonging this delay time. A larger value will give more delay time to the device for which to initialize and to prepare for activation. DRAM Timing Selectable This item sets the optimal timings for the following four items, depending on the memory module you are using. The default setting "By SPD" configures these four items by reading the contents in the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) device. The EEPROM on the memory module stores critical parameter information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage interface, and module banks. The following items will be available to make adjustments by selecting option [Manual]. [. . . ] Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and Power Supply), and then reboot. If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the system will start. If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model. If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and devices that were previously installed in the system. [. . . ]
