Hi blben ,
The BIOS can be reset to default settings on this system by entering BIOS, system set up, at start up (hitting the <F2> key in post). Then either:
Navigate to ‘Maintenance’ and select :
Load Defaults
This option allows you to reset every option back to the way it was when the system left the factory. Cancel and Continue.
Or by using the BIOS keystroke:
<Alt><F> or Load Defaults menu option
Navigation Key Strokes
