ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 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

update a corrupted BIOS file using the motherboard support CD , the floppy disk or

the USB flash disk that contains the updated BIOS file.

Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk

To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk:

1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the floppy disk with the original or updated BIOS file to the floppy disk

drive.

3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the

floppy disk for the original or updated BIOS file.

4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.

When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the corrupted

BIOS file.

• Prepare the motherboard support CD,

the floppy disk or the USB flash disk

containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.

• Ensure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the floppy disk

or the USB flash disk to M3A78EMH.ROM.
