Managing and updating your BIOS

The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic

Input/Output System (BIOS) setup:
1.

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

(To recover the BIOS using a bootable USB flash

disk drive when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.)

ASUS EZ Flash 2

(Updates the BIOS using a USB flash disk.)

BUPDATER utility

(Updates the BIOS in DOS mode using a bootable USB

flash disk drive.)

Refer to the corresponding sections for details on these utilities.

Save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS file to a bootable

USB flash

disk drive

in case you need to restore the BIOS in the future. Copy the original

motherboard BIOS using the BUPDATER utility.

5.1.1

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. Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file to one USB

port on the system.

2. 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.
