3.2.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility 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 USB ash drive that contains

the BIOS le.

• Before using this utility, rename the BIOS le in the USB ash drive into

M5A88VEV.ROM.

• The BIOS le in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS le

published on the ASUS ofcial website. If you want to use the newer BIOS le,

download the le at support.asus.com and save it to a USB ash drive.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.

2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the USB ash drive

containing the BIOS le to the USB port.

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

reads the BIOS le and starts ashing the corrupted BIOS le.

4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and power on

again.

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

system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F2> to load default

BIOS values.

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

system boot failure!
