unfortunately most proprietary systems are "locked" by the manufacturer and have few if any operator modifications available to change. of course you might get lucky and in that case the place to start is in the bios....if you get into the bios at startup and find that you can change some options then please tell us what they are and we'll try our best to help you....

if this is your motherboard then perhaps there are a few modifications that can be made but there will be designed in limitations.

read everything you can on your components before you try to upgrade or modify.

and welcome to OCC...!!
