Incorrect settings in your BIOS can render your system unbootable, or in the worst cases, can corrupt your data. This information is provided for clarity and repeatability. If you hardware does not match exactly the hardware that was used in this article, think three times before using these settings. If you do try these settings, you do so at your own risk. I make no claims or warranties to the validity of these settings.
