welcome to the adventure this is Adam and today we're going to be going over some settings in
the system bios so here we are looking at the system bios the basic input/output system what
I want to do here is go down to the load BIOS default which is the minimal setting safest
option it's mostly for troubleshooting problems with the computer the other option is load setup
default that's going to give you your optimized default settings for performance so we're going
to restart and watch what the computer does so it does actually count the memory here on the
memory test three full times before it continues again this mode is primarily for troubleshooting
problems with a PC so it is making sure the memory is functioning properly before it moves on to the
next step you do have a couple options down at the bottom of the screen for ending the test or
going back into the BIOS to change the settings so we're gonna let it right out here and finish
its boot process as you'll notice this does take an excessive amount of time next we're going to
look at a boot cycle with the setup defaults the optimized ones see and see how that works a lot
quicker and then we'll go over a couple different settings in the BIOS and show you how that worked
here we finally are fully booted ready to go that did take quite a long time over a minute for sure
so we're going to restart the PC control all the leaf from the prompt here because there isn't
currently a command we can use to restart from the command prompt I did press the Delete key
here to go into the BIOS it just takes a moment because again these are really minimal settings
primarily for troubleshooting issues with the PC so we are going now going to go down to load
setup default again saying yes to that exit yes and here we go we will watch this boot cycle
and there we go quite a bit faster that time so we're gonna restart one more time here go
back into the BIOS and go over a couple quick settings of note so I would like to start here in
the standard CMOS setup and what i'm doing here is disabling the auto detect for drives that i
know are not present in the system and that is the primary master and the secondary master so those
are set to none and then we're going to go over here to the auto detect and this is our hard drive
here we do want option number two which is what we will select and then if we go back over here
yeah so it now has the settings we've it or the bios detected and we said yes to over here so the
next item is going to be under the bios features setup there is a lot going on here the bios does
come with a manual that explains what the default settings are sometimes make some recommendations
on what different things do the turbo mode for example is the opposite of a turbo mode turbo is
designed to make a pc run temporarily faster when it's necessary their pcs had a button dedicated
to turning the turbo mode on this one just has a setting of its bios to make the system run slower
on the indefinite basis so you come back into your and disable the setting again thus i think
i want to draw the attention to here is the quick power on self test okay if for some reason this
were set to disabled that would make the system take longer to boot up there is a more lengthy
process that it does for the power-on self-test as we observed the memory was tested three times
over before the system would boot the next item on the list is the boot up floppy seat so this can be
enabled the system will attempt to read from the floppy drive a single time when it's booted this
does add a small amount of time to the full boot cycle for optimal performance you can have this
dis a really turning it on is a troubleshooting step for floppy drives that are problematic the
next item here of interest is the Buddha system speed in my particular BIOS here I thought this
was interesting the manufacturers manual said while there are two settings high and low doesn't
actually have a function and it's recommended just to leave it on high which is what we will
do this BIOS does not have the particular feature that I wanted to talk about but yours may some of
them have a boot up delay it's a small amount of time that the system is made to wait after
it's powered on before the BIOS attempts to check the hard drive do send a read command to the hard
drive to make sure that it is there the reason for that is some older hard drives are not able
to spin up to the appropriate speed to accept the read or write commands that early typically
the delay is turned on if you have a much newer hard drive that doesn't have that problem where
if you're using an older system with a memory card of some kind in place of a hard drive or
a compact flash drive things like that that can seek much quicker you can turn that delay
off and save a little bit of time in the boot cycle that's what I wanted to talk about here
