BIOS Settings - Exit Setup



There are generally two ways to exit the BIOS setup program. Most 
BIOSes have two menu entries that you choose from, to exit either
 saving your changes, or discarding them. Others exit by hitting 
the {Esc} key and then ask you if you want to keep changes or 
discard them.


Save and Exit Setup

Choose this setting to exit the BIOS setup program and save 
changes to the BIOS CMOS memory . Make sure you select this in 
order to keep your changes; many times users accidentally forget 
to do this and then wonder why their system's behavior didn't 
change even though they modified settings.


Exit Setup Without Saving

Choose this setting to exit the BIOS program discarding all 
changes made. The BIOS will normally ask for confirmation ("Are 
you sure?") before exiting. Note that the BIOS program does not 
keep track of whether or not you actually make changes to any 
of the settings, the way for example a word processor would, in 
order to determine if it should warn you. It will warn you every 
time you tell it to exit without saving.
