This is a perfect video, I know so many people who are quite comfortable using their PC or laptop but are filled with horror having to open up the BIOS so I've added this to my watch list called "save me diesel" that I can direct people to when I get that phone call which starts out, "hey not seen you in ages fancy popping round for a cuppa" which translates really to " something has gone wrong with my computer and I don't want to fork out more than a cup of coffee to fix it"
Thanks Chris

In two words - well done, it's a shame there are no more like you on the net Thank you

One more thing . . . . . be aware that manufacturers normally provide updates to BIOS versions which may fix faults, improve security, or provide support for new hardware. Instructions for how to install a new BIOS will be found in the relevant manual.

I have been using PCs and their BIOS for almost forty years and this info is still useful, THANKS Chris

Another great video, I thought I knew most all of the bios setting/regulations, but the newer uefi systems has shown me I'm still learning. Thanks again Mr Chris:-)

I honestly wanted the video to be longer. His easy and fluid way of explaining make me want more without getting bored or confused or lost!
thank you sir💙

As early as now. I am teaching my kids about technology. Since I am a technology migrant, they should know more than me. These videos of yours are very helpful. Keep up the good work! ♥

[EnVideoZone]

Thorough, deep and remarkably clear. This applies to every video you do. Thank you very much.

As much as I know about BIOS, and here I am, still learning new things. Thanks for sharing...!

EVEN a starter can understand this video ..such a humble, neat, pure, Gradual,generous, video it was ..

[rindeldonnet]

Literally the best bios settings video I have seen! And I have been studying PC's for almost 4 whole days.

[MrBubbagump]

Thanks. This video really cleared up some questions about BIOS that I've had for a long time.

Sir, I also have to admit you have some of the best well explained computer videos on Youtube I've been working on computers since 1986 when we had to flash BIOS thanks for showing different ways now days.

Awesome tip about plucking it's battery to restore to default settings in bios, never heard that before. That helps to alleviate the fear of screwing up your computer entirely when doing any changes in BIOS.

Excellent work! Everything well explained and in the correct order. Thank you Chris!

[HowToBreakIt]

Great video as always, Chris! They go great with my morning cup of joe

[robertfletcher]

Great one Chris. I have just been in and changed my XMP settings to On. As I don't play games and no interest in overclocking I tend to leave things at default. BIOS documentation is often confusing. Some follow up to this would be great.

Another excellent video Chris, anyone thinking of building a computer for the first time this should be near the top of videos to watch.

Thanks for a very lucid introduction to BIOS/UFEI and how to set the options. I remember the day when there were no BIOS settings - settings were hardware based using DIP switches or jumpers on either the component or the motherboard. Your explanations as always are clear, and like how you encourage users to explore how to set BIOS including giving information to how reset the settings. Keep up the excellent work!
