2.1.5 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility 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
floppy disk that contains the BIOS file.
The BIOS file in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS file
published on the ASUS official website. If you want to use the newer BIOS file,
download the file at support.asus.com and save it to a floppy disk.
Recovering the BIOS
To recover the BIOS
1.
Turn on the system.
2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the floppy disk containing
the BIOS file to the floppy disk drive.
3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When found, the utility
reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the corrupted BIOS file.
4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and power on
again.
5. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS setting. To ensure
system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press to load default
BIOS values.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while recovering the BIOS! Doing so
can cause system boot failure!
