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 restore a corrupted BIOS

file using the motherboard support DVD or a USB flash drive that contains the updated BIOS

file.

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.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:
1.

Turn on the system.

Insert the support DVD to the optical drive or the USB flash drive that contains the

BIOS file to the USB port.

The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When found, the utility

reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility automatically.

The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS setting. To ensure

system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F5> to load default

BIOS values.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause

system boot failure!

Press <Tab> to switch to the

Drive

field.

Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS,

and then press <Enter>.

Press <Tab> to switch to the

Folder Info

field.

Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the BIOS file, and then press <Enter> to perform

the BIOS update process. Reboot the system when the update process is done.
