ASUS CrashFree BIOS

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

PG41TML2.ROM (P5G41T-M LX2) / PG41TMLG.ROM (P5G41T-M LX2/GB) /

PG41TMLP.ROM (P5G41T-M LX2/GB/LPT).

• 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 support vary with motherboard

models. For motherboards without the 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.

reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the corrupted BIOS file.

system boot failure!
