Beforerestoring the BIOS settings, please let your computer enters the BIOS configuration first, here you can learn more about How to enter BIOS configuration. After entering the BIOS configuration, there are two kinds of BIOS screen which are UEFI mode and Legacy mode, please refer to the following steps in order.
Answer 1: If you want to log in without a password, click the item to change password and leave the Create New Password and Confirm New Password fields blank. Select Ok, and then the password will be removed.
Gaming on PC is fun. The best part about it is not even the gaming itself but the control you have over the interface, drivers, and everything else that makes your gaming sessions a worthwhile experience.
You can run the same game on two different PCs that are exactly the same in terms of model and specs and still find that the gaming experience is different. The video game might be slower on one or glitchy with funky colors streaming across your screen.
You can fix these problems by tweaking your RAM or SSD BIOS settings, or just optimizing your PC BIOS for better performance and gaming. BIOS is short for Basic Input Output System. It is not quite the engine of your computer, but it comes really close. It is the first code to kick in whenever you boot up your computer. Thus, once you have a good handle on it, you can determine how your PC runs every time you turn it on.
You will not find the BIOS settings within the normal Windows running interface. These settings can only be assessed when your PC is booting up. In other words, that small interval of time between your PC coming on and launching your default drivers and services is when you can intercept it and get into BIOS settings.
Different Windows computer models generally require you to use specific hotkeys to get into the BIOS settings. We have mentioned F2 which is what many of these models have configured the BIOS settings with. Others use the delete key, the ESC key, any other hotkey, or a combination of these.
Windows computer models that require you to click F2 to access the BIOS settings include Acer, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, Origin PC, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba. For HP users, F10 is the primary hotkey for opening these settings. These models also allows the use of ESC, similar to how Dell computers allow the use of F12.
Any dedicated gamer knows that fixing speed and accuracy is the key to enjoying video games on a PC. The basic Windows computer is factory configured so that it offers the best mix of speed and performance at default settings. Even so, the user can go the extra mile and tweak BIOS to eke out further performance gains.
There is no one-size-fits-all rule to improve gaming performance via BIOS. For example, the best Asus BIOS settings for gaming might be different from the MSI BIOS settings for gaming or even the ASRock BIOS TPM settings. This is because the motherboards were made by different people. Even so, the effects are similar.
To put it simply, increasing the cooling system of your PC will get you better gaming performance. It allows the PC to increase the number of times the built-in fan comes on to reduce the heat from your gaming. So, yes, if you want a better gaming experience, turn on the PC fan.
Sometimes, the reason your gaming sessions are made up of slow, glitchy graphics is that the SSD BIOS settings are not properly configured. This could happen for any number of reasons including improper SSD drive placement or outdated drivers.
To conclude on using the BIOS settings on Windows PCs for better performance or gaming, note that each of the highlighted methods puts pressure on your PC. Any one of them might increase power drain or even crash your motherboard. As a result, you need to be careful when attempting to tweak your CPU base clock or even the RAM BIOS Settings for a better gaming experience.
I have had a problem since the first day with the i9 14900K CPU, I have to deactivate hyperthreading via the Bios to obtain stable operation, otherwise when launching even a simple application like Affinity designer, or Photoshop, I almost always get a blue screen, then reboot the system, sometimes the apps crash randomly...
When launching OCCT or Cinebench 2024, the computer freezes, you must systematically do a hard reset...
I was able to reproduce this fault, in fact deactivating the HT makes the system stable!!. It took me a while to find the culprit, I thought it was a bad cooling system, I installed a Corsair H150i 360 watercooler, and nothing happened...
For information, I have no overclocking of the components, everything is original in the Bios by default.
I have just been lent another CPU, it's an i7-12700F socket LGA1700, after several continuous tests on OCCT and especially hyperthreading activated, no BSOD or app crashes... it works perfectly, so by deduction my problem does not come from the Main board!
Solution A: for me, the system boot is blocked, Windows cannot start, I find my bios after restarting the system. I think I must not enter the correct value "0.025", the adjustment of the value: it is not clear to me.
I was also getting some stability issues with my 14900k. It was mainly happening when I was trying to build things with Rider IDE. I managed to come across this Reddit post which fixed my issues. No problems so far after I did the fix. Apparently the issue comes from the motherboard makers setting their "default" values go past what Intel recommends.
I haven't done any testing, but I don't see why not. It is just setting it to what Intel recommends for the settings. The stability issues seem to stem from motherboard manufacturers trying to apply excessive auto OC settings in order to get just a little extra performance. It may perform lower than what the "stock" motherboard settings does in benchmarks, but I'll take stability over a couple percentage of extra performance any day.
I noticed Asus released a new BIOS update a few weeks ago, which allows you to have a profile that sets certain values to what is recommended by Intel. It seems to change certain settings like the SVID and a couple others, but I noticed it left short/long duration turbo power (package power limit 1/2 on other motherboard brands) and max core/cache current limit to auto. For now, I'm trying that out, along with manually setting my short/long duration turbo power limits because the default auto seemed to set my short duration to an insane 4096 compared to Intel's recommended amount of 253. If I don't get any more crashes, I'll probably just leave max core/cache current limit to auto.
I was pulling my hair out after recently updating my drivers and BIOS. I have a Asus ROG Strix z690-E and this reddit post was invaluable. I solved it with SVID 'Trained' however, as 'Typical Scenario' still resulted in BSODs.
It didn't work for me! Mine Started suddenly yesterday(after first time opening Euro Truck Simulator 2 after the new BIOS update v. 2202 @( -strix/rog-strix-z790-h-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_bios/) which i installed like 2-3 weeks ago, I didn't open any games until yesterday, only light load like chrome, FL studio, windows apps, etc. light workload) Now i got to know that no game can run like BeamNG.Drive and ETS2, For your Knowledge i don't overclock my CPU, i underclock to (-0.135v) sometimes, also i limit the turbo power limit to (200w) sometimes. i run windows at power saver mode in control panel>power options (i have done the advanced setting limiting maximum processor state to 10%, i remove the power saver to balanced (not even performance) when i need the full power). I always try to limit the temp of CPU under 45c-50c while light load and 80c-90c at heavy load. Please let me know what to do MORE then what i did.
Today i tried what you mentioned still crashes in games and even Asus Armoury Crate.
Thanks:)
After updating the BIOS, did you select to apply Intel Baseline Profile? It should be at the top of the AI Tweaker tab. I would first try setting everything to default, and then select the Intel profile and XMP. The profile should also be applying the correct limits to the short/long duration turbo power and core/cache current limit. I just didn't see it at first cause you only see the change after a selecting the profile and restarting. I would first see if you can get stability without the under-volt, and then start playing with those voltages. If you still get stability issues, you might want to try to RMA.
i underclock to (-0.135v) sometimes, also i limit the turbo power limit to (200w) sometimes. i run windows at power saver mode in control panel>power options (i have done the advanced setting limiting maximum processor state to 10%, i remove the power saver to balanced (not even performance) when i need the full power).
Therefore, setting any value between 0 and 99% on Power Saver is pointless, as any value below 100% has same result.
So you have in fact two settings, 100% or below that, you do not get 100 different reactions on load or idle from the CPU, you just get 2.
Unless my OS is broken....
I am getting BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000001 when training some DL models (all nvidia drivers, cuda versions, few linux versions tried). This happens typically within 10-30 minutes from the training start. Disabling Hyper-Threading in BIOS solves the issue for me. The setup is bought at
