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
P6P5G41E.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 device that ASUS CrashFree BIOS support vary with
motherboard models. For motherboards without the oppy connector,
prepare a USB ash disk before using this utility.

the utility reads the BIOS le and starts ashing the corrupted BIOS le.
