5.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 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 the motherboard support CD, or the USB Flash that contains the updated BIOS file.

•Prepare the motherboard support CD, or the USB Flash containing

the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.

•Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the

USB Flash to P5L8L.ROM.

Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk

To recover the BIOS from a USB Flash:

1.Turn on the system.

2.Connect the USB Flash to the PC.

3.The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the USB Flash for the original or updated BIOS file.

If your display monitor is connected to the onboard VGA connector, the display monitor will turn-off and the system will beep once while the CrashFree BIOS 2 starts updating your system. The system will beep once again while the process is finished, and the display will return after the system restarts.

When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the corrupted BIOS file.
