Almost all users are resorted to selective or complete configuration BIOS. Therefore, many of them are important to know about the meaning of one of the options - "Load Optimized Defaults". What it is and why it is needed, read further in the article.
Purpose Option "Load Optimized Defaults" in BIOS
Many of us sooner or later requires to use BIOS, configuring some of its parameters on the recommendations of articles or based on independent knowledge. But far from always such settings are successful - as a result of some of them, the computer can start working incorrectly or stop working at all, without going further than the maternal boost or post-screen screensaver. For situations where some values are incorrect, it is possible to complete their reset, and at once in two variations:
- "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" - applying the factory configuration with the safest parameters to the detriment of PC performance;
- "Load Optimized Defaults" (also is called "Load Setup Defaults") - installation of factory settings, ideally suitable for your system and providing the best, stable computer functioning.
In modern AMI BIOS, it is located in the "Save & Exit" tab, can have a hot key (F9 for example below) and looks similar:
In the outdated Award, the option is somewhat different. It is located in the main menu, also causes a hot key - for example, in the screenshot, it is clear below that it is assigned F6 for it. You can have this F7 or another key, or absent at all:
Following the foregoing, it does not make sense to use the option in question, it does not matter, it is relevant only when any problems occur. However, if you can not even go to the BIOS to reset the optimal settings, it will be necessary to pre-completely reset it with other methods. You can learn from a separate our article about them - methods 2, 3, 4 will help you in it.

The appearance of the "Load Optimized Defaults" message in UEFI GIGABYTE
The owners of gigabyte motherboards can constantly face the dialog box, which wears the following text:
BIOS HAS BEEN RESET - PLEASE Decide How to Continue
Load Optimized Defaults Then Boot
Load Optimized Defaults Then Reboot
ENTER BIOS.
This means that the system cannot boot with the current configuration and requests the user to set the optimal parameters of the BIOS. Here, the choice of option 2 is preferred - "Load Optimized Defaults Then Reboot", but it does not always lead to a successful load, and there may be several reasons in this case, most often they are hardware.
- The battery fell on the motherboard. Most often, the problem is characterized by a PC boot starting behind the choice of optimal parameters, but after turning off and then turn on (for example, the next day) the picture is repeated. This is the easiest hand problem, a decisive purchase and installation of a new one. In principle, the computer may even work, but if any subsequent inclusion after idle time, at least a few hours will have to do the steps described above. Date, time and any other BIOS settings will be taken back to the default, including those that are responsible for overclocking the video card.
You can replace it according to the instructions from our author describing this process, starting from the moment the new battery is selected.
- Problems with RAM. Malfunction and Errors in RAM can cause the window at which you will receive a window with download options from UEFI. You can check it on the performance of other dies on the motherboard or software methods using our article below.
- Fault power supply. Weak or incorrectly working BP also often becomes a source of permanent appearance of the optimal BIOS parameters. His manual check is not always so simple as RAM, and under the power not to each user. Therefore, we recommend contacting the service center for diagnostics or in the presence of sufficient knowledge and free PC to check the block on another computer, as well as connect the BP of the second computer to your.
- Outdated BIOS version. If the message appears after installing a new component, usually a modern model, the current version of the BIOS may be incompatible with this "hardware". In such a situation, it will be necessary to update its firmware to the last. Since this is a difficult operation, you need to take care of actions performed. Additionally, we recommend reading our article.
