4.3.3 Recovering the BIOS - CrashFree BIOS 3
The 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
.
Before using this utility, rename the BIOS file in the removable device to:
Q170C.CAP
.
To recover the BIOS:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the support DVD to the optical drive or the USB flash drive that contains the BIOS file to the
USB port.
3. 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.
4. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS settings. 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!
