Looking in the BIOS setup is often a necessary part of troubleshooting a computer, since the information in there can be wrong. For instance, if the system doesn't recognize a hard drive, then it is possible that it is not enabled in the CMOS settings. At other times, the CPU or the memory could be clocked too fast and leading to crashes and errors.
