Tips
A useful task is to check the boot order. If you have the OS on the hard drive, make sure that the hard drive is the
first in the boot order. This can save a few seconds off boot time.
Keep a copy of your motherboard's documentation (a.k.a. User Manual) with you in case you can't get in or out of
the BIOS, or you need help changing something.
Backup your BIOS settings by recording them on paper once your PC is running and before you make any
changes to them.

Warnings
If you are going to flash the BIOS after, do NOT attempt this. If you have already changed settings, you must
reset your BIOS. Instructions on how to reset your BIOS can be found here: Reset Your BIOS
