2.1.4ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 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 DVD, the USB flash disk, or the floppy disk that contains the updated BIOS file.

•Prepare the motherboard support DVD, the USB flash disk, or the floppy disk containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.

•Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the floppy disk or the USB flash disk to P5QEMDO.ROM.

If your display monitor is connected to the onboard VGA connector, the display monitor will turn-off and the system will beep once while CrashFree BIOS 3 starts updating your system. The system will beep once again while the process is finished, and the display will return after the system restarts.
