2.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS utility

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS le

when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a corrupted BIOS

le using the motherboard support DVD or a removable device that contains the updated

BIOS le.

• Before using this utility, rename the BIOS le in the removable device into

M4A78LM.ROM.

• The BIOS le in the support DVD may not be the latest version. Download the latest

BIOS le from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.

• The removable devices that ASUS CrashFree BIOS supports vary with motherboard

models. For motherboards without a oppy connector, prepare a USB ash disk before

using this utility.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.

2. Insert the support DVD to the optical drive or the removable device that contains the

BIOS le to the USB port or to the oppy disk drive, if supported.

3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS le. When the BIOS le is

found, the utility reads it and starts ashing the corrupted BIOS le.

4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and turn it on again.

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

system boot failure!

Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select

the Load Setup Defaults item under the Exit menu. Refer to section 2.8 Exit menu for
