A. What is Dual BIOS Technology ?

Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the
motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS.

allow you to enter Award BIOS CMOS SETUP, then press to enter Dual BIOS / Q-Flash utility.

Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or
damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means that your PC
will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS.
