ASUS 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 a USB flash drive that contains the updated 
BIOS file.
Prepare a USB flash drive containing the updated motherboard BIOS before 
using this utility.
Recovering the BIOS from a USB flash drive
To recover the BIOS from a USB flash drive:
1.  Remove any floppy disk from the floppy disk drive and turn the system.
2.  Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file to one USB 
port on the system.
3.  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.
