Chapter 2: BIOS setup 2-5
2.1.5 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 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
oppy disk 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 oppy disk.
Recovering the BIOS
To recover the BIOS
1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the oppy disk containing
the BIOS le to the oppy disk drive.
3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS le. When found, the utility
reads the BIOS le and starts ashing the corrupted BIOS le.
4. Turn off the system after the utility completes the updating process and power on
again.
5. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS setting. To ensure
system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F2> to load default
BIOS values.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while recovering the BIOS! Doing so
can cause system boot failure!
