Bios Default Settings
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2004 11:58 pm
Hi, I am totally new to computing and have been given an old computer for me to learn Linux, my chosen operating system.
I understand that the bios settings are not correct and would like to know how or if indeed I can return the bios to it's default settings.
The bios in my computer is as follows:
Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension V1.OA
Ref : i 440BX-W977TF-2A69KC39C-00
The Motherboard is a Chaintech 6-BTM
Also I notice that the computer is difficult to turn off and emits 3 short beeps when I press the on/off button.
The only way I am able to turn it off is by the switch on the back of the tower
cabinet.
Many thanks,
roconnor
