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 a USB flash drive that contains the updated

BIOS file.

Prepare a USB flash drive containing the updated motherboard BIOS before

using this utility.

Recovering the BIOS from a USB flash drive

To recover the BIOS from a USB flash drive:

1. Remove any floppy disk from the floppy disk drive and turn the system.
2. Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file to one USB

port on the system.

3. The utility will automatically recover the BIOS. It resets the system when the

BIOS recovery finished.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while recovering the BIOS! Doing so

would cause system boot failure!

The recovered BIOS may not be the latest BIOS version for this motherboard.

Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com to download the latest BIOS file.
