5.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 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, or the USB Flash that contains the updated BIOS file.
• Prepare the motherboard support CD, or the USB Flash containing
the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
• Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the
USB Flash to P5L8LSE.ROM.
Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk
To recover the BIOS from a USB Flash:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Connect the USB Flash to the PC.
3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks
the USB Flash for the original or updated BIOS file.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
Floppy found!
Reading file “P5L8LSE.ROM”. Completed.
Start flashing...
When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the
corrupted BIOS file.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing
so can cause system boot failure!
If your display monitor is connected to the onboard VGA connector, the
display monitor will turn-off and the system will beep once while the
CrashFree BIOS 2 starts updating your system. The system will beep
once again while the process is finished, and the display will return after
the system restarts.
