Chapter 5: BIOS setup

The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output 

System (BIOS) setup:

1. 

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 (To recover the BIOS using a bootable USB flash disk drive 

when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.)

2. 

ASUS EZ Flash 2 (Updates the BIOS using a USB flash disk.)

3. 

BUPDATER utility (Updates the BIOS in DOS mode using a bootable USB flash disk 

drive.)

Refer to the corresponding sections for details on these utilities. 

Save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS file to a bootable

 USB flash disk drive 

in case you need to restore the BIOS in the future. Copy the original motherboard BIOS 

using the BUPDATER 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 a USB flash drive that contains the updated BIOS file.

Prepare a USB flash drive containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this 

utility.

To recover the BIOS from a USB flash drive:

1. 

Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file to one USB port on the 

system.

2. 

The utility will automatically recover the BIOS. It resets the system when the BIOS 

recovery finished.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while recovering the BIOS! Doing so would cause 

system boot failure!

The recovered BIOS may not be the latest BIOS version for this motherboard. Visit the 

ASUS website at www.asus.com to download the latest BIOS file.
