2.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS file
when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a corrupted BIOS
file using the motherboard support DVD or a removable device that contains the updated
BIOS file.
• Before using this utility, rename the BIOS file in the removable device into
M4A78LME.ROM.
• The BIOS file in the support DVD may not be the latest version. Download the latest
BIOS file from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.
• The removable devices that ASUS CrashFree BIOS supports vary with motherboard
models. For motherboards without a floppy connector, prepare a USB flash disk before
using this utility.
Recovering the BIOS
To recover the BIOS:
1.
Turn on the system.
2. Insert the support DVD to the optical drive or the removable device that contains the
BIOS file to the USB port or to the floppy disk drive, if supported.
3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When the BIOS file is
found, the utility reads it and starts flashing the corrupted BIOS file.
4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and turn it on again.

system boot failure!
Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select
