B. CPU Overheated
If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for
seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard wi ll shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenl y with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan i s rotated normall y.
3. CPU fan speed is ful filling wi th the CPU speed.
After confirmed, pl ease follow steps below to rel ief the CPU protection
function.
1. Rem ove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wai t for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data.
(See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)
2. Wai t for seconds.

CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™
5.1 INTRO DUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendl y functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
Wi th the Overclock Manager, users can easi l y adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance wi th just one click. The
Overvol tage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
vol tage and Me mor y v ol tage. The co o l Har dw are Mo ni tor s mar tly in d icates
the temperatures, vol tage and CPU fan speed as wel l as the chi pset
information. Al so, in the About panel , you can get detail descripti ons about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
mem ory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchroni cally
s how n on our ma i n p an el .
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems i f the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results i n system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the sy stem stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that i s ei ther the
ori ginal system speed or a suitable one.
5.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

Note:
Becaus e the t esting program s, invoked in Aut o-overclock and Verify,
include D irectDraw, D irec t 3D and D irectShow tests, the D irectX 8.1 or

Note :
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset i s not on board, the
correlative but ton in Main panel will be disabled, but will not inter fere
other panels’ functions. Thi s property can make [WarpSpeeder™]
utility more robust.

T he Award BIO S™ in stalled in your co mpute r sys tem’s RO M (R e ad Only Mem ory) is a
custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports AMD processor
input/output system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices
such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.
Adding important has customized the Award BIOS™, but nonstandard, features such as
virus and password protection as we ll as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your
system using Setup.
Plug and Play Support

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settin gs.
Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations
Init Display First
With systems that have multip le video cards, this option determines whether the primary
display uses a PCI Slot or an AGP Slot.
The Cho ices: PCI Ex (default), PCI Slot, Onboard.
Reset Config uration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The
system need s to rec ord an d update ESCD to the mem ory lo cations. T hese lo cations (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled
option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“Disabled” mode.The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is
chosen for the resources controlled by function.Legacy is the term, which sign ifies that a
resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA P nP
signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards
and peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resources Co ntrol led By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral. By
Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to
a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device
PCI / VG A Palette Sno o p
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA contr o ller is draw n from the palette
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller
need s to know wh at is in th e palette of the VGA controller. T o do this, t he no n-VGA
graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop
data. In P CI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA
graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the P CI VGA co ntr oller s hould not respond to the Write, it should only sno op
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic
controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,
you should disable th is option.
Disabled (default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
