1.3.2 Unique ASUS features

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the motherboard support CD or a bootable floppy disk in case the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-4.

ASUS EZ Flash BIOS

The ASUS EZ Flash feature works through the Award BIOS Update utility. With EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. See page 2-3.

ASUS MyLogo™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See page 2-23.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS previous settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and BIOS automatically restores the CPU previous setting for each parameter.
