Even though optimized should mean faster, it only means better settings in terms of ram timings, temperature and others so that the OS itself can run better in terms of stablibility. You can check the "Boot Priority" options usually in the second menu and disable most of the other boot devices. You can just set the boot priority to just one HDD 0, and that should do just fine. Also disable the "Boot from other places". This will stop the system from checking all over the place for other boot area instead of your hard disk. This will speed things up.

If your asking is there any software needed to reset your bios, then the answer is NO! If your asking about the effect on already installed software, then resetting your bios using the "clear CMOS" switch as illustrated, will not have any effect on your currently loaded software. If however your asking about flashing your bios, then the answer is YES & that is the new bios that you would download from your motherboard manufacturer. Please do not get resetting & flashing your bios mixed up, they are two totally different things and whilst resetting is a normal everyday practice for a computer tech, flashing the bios certainly is not!
