ASUS CrashFree BIOS utility
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
M4N68TMV2.ROM
.
• 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 supports vary with motherboard
models. For motherboards without a floppy connector, prepare a USB flash disk before
using this utility.
