3.10.3 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.
The BIOS le in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS le
published on the ASUS ofcial 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 enters ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility automatically.
4. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS setting. 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!
• This function can support devices such as a USB ash disk with FAT 32/16
format and single partition only.
• DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and
stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under the Exit menu. See
section 3.10 Exit Menu for details.
