Configure BIOS on your computer. BIOS settings - detailed instructions in pictures Pre-acquaintance with functions

Hello everyone! My name is Sergey and in this manual I will try to tell you in detail how to set up Open Broadcaster Software. (Next OBS), how to run it and consider all settings in detail. An image will be present in the manual, so on them to you, I think it will be easier to navigate.

If you have any questions on this topic, write in the comments, I will try to answer. Interesting questions and answers to them I will collect together and publish them under the guidance of FAQ.

And so, let's start from scratch?

To begin with, I will answer the question:

What is needed Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)?

Obs. - This is a free open source program that allows you to broadcast various multimedia information and record it in video format.

Often, services such as Twitch, YouTube, Dailymotion, HitBox use to broadcast.

OBS supports:

• coding with H264 (X264) and AAC;
• Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) and NVENC;
• unlimited number of scenes and sources (learn later);
• running RTMP stream (live broadcast) on Twitch, YouTube, Dailymotion, HitBox and other projects;
• when recording video, we get MP4 or FLV format;
• capture games using a graphics processor to ensure high performance game;
• directShow capture device;
• Windows 7/8/10, OSX and Linux.

In my case, Windows 7 Professional X64 operating system will be used. Go...

OBS installation:

Download the OBS program from the official site (download) or from our site (download).

view of Obsproject website, relevant on 08.11.15

If you downloaded the archive from our site, then unpack and run OBS_0_656B_Installer.exe.if you downloaded from the official site, just run the installer OBS_0_656B_Installer.exe.. After starting, a welcome window appears:

window Drinking

Press the button NEXT\u003eThe window opens with the agreement. For reading, knowledge of English is needed.

window Agreement

If you are pressed I AgreeYou have taken an agreement and continue the installation. Installation time is less than 10 seconds (on the rapid computer). If you do not agree, click Cancel.In this case, the installation will stop.

And so, the installation is completed, this window opens:

Noise gate. Setup:

Here I will not deepen in details. This feature will allow you to configure your microphone, if there is a "extra" noise.

And so, the settings are completed. It remains to connect with the stream service and start broadcast.

How to start broadcasting via Twitch I will describe in the next manual.

Perhaps in some points I was mistaken, but I would be glad if you fix me. Successful streams;)

If you purchased a collected computer or laptop, then its BIOS is already configured properly, but you can always make any personal adjustments. When a computer is assembled independently, it is necessary to configure BIOS to properly work yourself. Also, this need may occur if a new component has been connected to the motherboard and all parameters have dropped by default.

The interface of most BIOS versions, with the exception of the most modern, represents a primitive graphic shell, where there are several menu items from which you can go to another screen with already customizable parameters. For example, menu item "Boot" Opens the user options for distributing the priority of the computer loading, that is, you can select the device from which the PC load will be performed.

In total, there are 3 BIOS manufacturers in the market, and each of them interface can vary significantly outwardly. For example, AMI (American Megatrands Inc.) has an upper menu:

Some versions of Phoenix and Award all partition items are located on the main page in the form of columns.

Plus, depending on the manufacturer, the names of some items and parameters may vary, although the meaning they will carry the same one.

All movements between items occur with the arrow keys, and the choice - using ENTER. Some manufacturers make even a special footnote in the BIOS interface, where what is written what key for what is responsible. In UEFI (the most modern variety of BIOS) there is a more advanced user interface, the ability to control with a computer mouse, as well as the translation of some items into Russian (the latter is quite rare).

Basic settings

The basic settings include the time parameters, dates, the priority of the computer loading, various memory settings, hard drives and drives. Provided that you just collected a computer, you must make settings for these parameters.

They will be in the section "Main", "Standard Cmos Features" and "Boot". It is worth remembering that depending on the manufacturer of the name may differ. First, configure the date and time according to this manual:

Now it is necessary to make tuning the priority of hard drives and drives. Sometimes, if not to do it, the system simply will not be loaded. All the necessary parameters are located in the section "Main" or "Standard Cmos Features" (depending on the BIOS version). Step-by-step instructions on the example of Award / PHOENIX BIOS looks like this:

Similar settings You need to produce BIOS users from AMI, SATA parameters change here. Use this guide to work:

AMI BIOS users can finish standard settings on this, and the developers of Award and Phoenix have several additional items that need the user's participation. All of them are in the section "Standard Cmos Features". Here are their list:

On this standard settings can be completed. Usually half of these items will already have what values \u200b\u200bneed.

Advanced parameters

This time, all settings will be made in the section "Advanced". It is in the BIOS from any manufacturers, however, may be a little different name. Inside it can be a different number of items depending on the manufacturer.

Consider the interface on the example of AMI BIOS:

Now proceed directly to the settings of the parameters from the item :

At Award and Phoenix, you do not need to configure these parameters, as they default are correctly configured and are completely in another section. But in the section "Advanced" You will find advanced settings to set up loading priorities. If the computer already has a hard disk with an operating system installed on it, then FIRST BOOT DEVICE Select Value "HDD-1" (sometimes you need to choose "HDD-0").

If the operating system on the hard disk is not yet installed, then it is recommended to put a value instead "USB-FDD".

Also at Award and Phoenix in the section "Advanced" There is an item regarding the entry settings in the BIOS with a password - "Password Check". If you set a password, it is recommended to pay attention to this item and set an acceptable value for you, all of them are two:

Safety and Stability Setup

This feature is relevant only for machine owners with BIOS from Award or Phoenix. You can enable maximum performance or stability mode. In the first case, the system will work a little faster, but there is a risk of incompatibility with some operating systems. In the second case, everything works more stable, but slower (not always).

To enable high performance mode, select Main menu "TOP PERFORMANCE" and put in it "Enable". It is worth remembering that there is a risk of violating the stability of the operating system, so work in this mode for several days, and if any failures that were not previously observed in the system, then disconnect it by setting the value "DISABLE".

If the speed you prefer stability, it is recommended to download a secure settings protocol, and there are two types of them:

To download any of these protocols, select one of the items discussed above, on the right side of the screen, after which you confirm the download using the keys ENTER or Y..

Installation of the password

After completing the main settings, you can set a password. In this case, no one except you can access the BIOS and / or the ability to change its parameters (depends on the settings that were described above).

In Award and Phoenix, in order to set a password, you need to select item on the main screen. "SET SUPERVISOR PASSWORD". A window will open where the password is entered up to 8 characters long, after entering the same window opens, where you need to register the same password to confirm. When typing, use only Latin characters and Arabic figures.

To remove the password, you need to choose the item again. "SET SUPERVISOR PASSWORD"but when the new password input window appears, just leave it empty and click ENTER.

A AMI BIOS password will set a little different. To begin with, you need to go to the section "Boot"that in the top menu, and there already find "SUPERVISOR PASSWORD". The password is set and removed in the same way with Award / Phoenix.

Upon completion of all manipulations in the BIOS you need to get out of it with the preservation of previously made settings. To do this locate "SAVE & EXIT". In some cases, you can use the hot key F10..

Customize the BIOS is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. In addition, most of the described settings are often exhibited by default as it is necessary for the normal operation of the computer.

Want to check how the effectiveness of advertising change depending on certain elements of the landing page? Use Google Optimize - A tool in which you can configure an experiment without third-party help.

Google Optimize allows you to:

• hide, add or change certain items on the site - texts, images, buttons, and the like;
• compare different landing pages;
• test pages with different designs.

In this article, I will describe what you need to do to configure and run the experiment.

What is needed to configure the experiment using Google Optimize?

To work Google Optimize you need:

1. Install on the site Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Optimize codes.
2. Install Google Optimize extension in Chrome browser.
3. Configure the experimental conditions in Google Optimize.

Consider a Read more Experimental Settings on the example of A / B test.

2.1. A / B-Test - a randomized experiment with two or more options for one page;

2.2. Multivaant test - testing several elements of one page;

2.3. Redirect Allows you to compare two different target pages or design options for one page;

3.1. To associate Optimize with your analytics, click the "Go to Container Page" link.

Click on the "Link Property" button and in the window that opens, select Resource and Google Analytics.

3.2. Skip the Google Optimize code to install the Google Optimize code - then we will look at the installation of the required codes in detail.

Click on the created experiment to open the window with the settings of its operation.

Option in Google Optimize - Modification of the selected page element that you want to compare with the current view of the element.

4.1.1. By default, the system has already created the original option called "Original". To add a test option, click "+ New Variant".

Specify the name of the new page and click "Add".

4.2.2. Click on the created option and wait until the page is loaded for which you want to configure the experiment.

In the window that opens, you can:

• delete page item;
• change the size or location of the element;
• change text on the site, as well as its font, alignment, size or color of the inscription;
• add background in the form of fill with color, set a frame or change transparency.
• edit HTML or JavaScript code.

Save the changes made.

By default, the system puts equal weight to each page.

If you want to check, for example, the efficiency of the planned redesign button "buy", you can send more traffic to the test option to more accurately evaluate the reaction of users to innovation.

To change the weight of the option, click on the icon of this setting.

In the window that opens, enter the required weight for each option and click "Done".

4.3. Choose Goals

To evaluate the work of experimental options, you need to set up targets. For example, you can see how new design has affected the number of failures or page conversion.

4.3.1. Google Optimize has three types of purposes:

• last Visitors of pages;
• duration of the session;
• failures.

4.3.2. You can also use goals from Google Analytics. To do this, go to the "Objectives" and click "Link to A Google Analytics View".

In the window that opens, select the desired view:

4.3.3. You can combine the standard Google Optimize targets with your own goals from Analytics, but only three goals can be used in the free version at the same time.

5. Adjust Targeting

All users of the site or selected according to certain criteria can take part in the experiment. I will describe in more detail that you can configure on the Targeting tab.

5.1. Site visitors share

By default, all visitors to the site will participate in the test. If you want to check your hypothesis on a smaller number of users, simply enter the required value in percent in the field allocated in the screenshot below.

On the same tab, you can change the weight of options by clicking "Edit".

5.2. Activation condition

Targeting settings in Google Optimize allow you to specify when you need to activate the experiment.

By default, activation occurs when the page is loaded. To set an event as an activator, go to the "When" section and select the Custom Event field.

5.3. Create Rule

Ten types of targeting are available on Google Optimize, on the basis of which you can create your own experimental error rule.

• URL Targeting. - Targeting on the URL;
• Audience Targeting. - Audience created in Google Analytics (Available only for users of the pack version Optimize);
• Behavior Targeting. - new or returned visitors who have moved from certain sources;
• Geo Targeting.- visitors from a certain city of region or country;
• Technology Targeting.- Users using a specific device, browser or operating system;
• JavaScript Variable. - value of the JavaScript variable used on the site;
• FIRST-PARTY COOKI - Targeting on cookie users;
• Custom JavaScript.- Custom code that allows you to target based on information inaccessible in previous methods of targeting (for example, time of day).
• Query Parameter. - Get-parameters, with the type of targeting you can target the experiment on UTM tags;
• Data Layer Variable.- based on values \u200b\u200bthat are stored in data level variables.

6.1. Open the menu with the steps of the experiment setting and go to the Optimize Installation.

In the window that opens, copy the Google Optimize account identifier.

6.2. Go to Google Tag Manager and create a new Tag type "Google Optimize".

6.3. In the tag settings, specify the Google Analytics tracking identifier and the Optimize account identifier you copied earlier.

Save the new tag. Triggers will not need for him.

6.4. Now you need to change the procedure for performing tags so that the Optimize tag has triggered before Google Analytics.

Go to Advanced Analytics Tag Settings, check the "Activate the tag before the Google Analytics tag" checkbox and select Google Optimize from the list.

Please note that Google Optimize code consists of two parts. The second part must be installed directly on the site so that visitors to the site have not seen the process of elements substitution.

The standard element substitution code is not very good, because during the substitution shows simply the white screen and the user is difficult to understand whether the site is loaded at all. Analytics Strategist Netpeak Alexey Danilin felt the script so that it would show on top of the white screen and the picture on which it will be understood that it is loading.

You can use the script below as an example:

conclusions

Google Optimize is a powerful tool for testing the efficiency of your site, its individual pages and elements.

How to work with him:

1. Create an account on Google Optimize and select the type of experiment.
2. Tie Optimize with Google Analytics
3. To configure an experiment, create page options for comparison and install how traffic between them will be distributed.
4. Set the targets to Optimize or select the previously configured in Analytics - so you can evaluate the effectiveness of the compared elements.
5. Adjust Targeting - Experimental Activation Conditions on the site.
6. Add directly to the site code script that hides the element substitution.

If you were looking for the BIOS settings in the pictures, they got along the right address.
