4.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3
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 DVD or a USB flash disk that contains the updated BIOS
file.
Recovering the BIOS
To recover the BIOS:
1.
Turn on the system.
2. Insert the support DVD or USB flash disk with the BIOS file to the optical drive or USB
port.
3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When the BIOS file is
found, the utility reads and starts flashing the corrupt BIOS file.
4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and turn it on again.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause
system boot failure!
Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select
the Load Optimized Defaults item under the Exit menu. Refer to section 4.8 Exit menu
for details.

models. For motherboards without the floppy connector, prepare a USB flash disk before
using this utility.
