Please note some of the settings/names in the following guides have changed over the years. It is very difficult to know the exact name for every motherboard for the last 10+ years as there are always very small tweaks to the phrasing.
- Switch on your system and start repeatedly tapping the Delete or F2 key on the keyboard, at least twice a second (often it is easier to do this from a restart than a shutdown state)
- You will then be met by a screen named “ASUS BIOS Utility - EZ Mode” or you may be already in Advanced Mode
- If you're in EZ Mode, press F7 to Enter the Advanced Mode, select Yes if prompted
- Navigate to the Tool tab at the top. You can use your Mouse or the Arrow keys on the keyboard.
- Press Enter to select Overclocking Profile (or sometimes ASUS O.C. Profiles or a derivative of)
- Highlight the Load from Profile box using the arrow keys and type "1" for the Stock profile or "2" for the Overclocked Profile
- Press Enter to Load that profile and Enter again to confirm the action
- Finally, press F10 and choose to Save Changes and Restart
- From there you should load into Windows with the loaded settings
