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 restore a corrupted BIOS 
file using the motherboard support DVD or a USB flash drive that contains the updated BIOS 
file.
• 
Before using this utility, rename the BIOS file in the removable device into  
H61MLKR.CAP.
• 
The BIOS file in the support DVD may not be the latest version. Download the latest 
BIOS file from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.
Recovering the BIOS
To recover the BIOS:
1. 
Turn on the system.
2. 
Insert the support DVD to the optical drive or the USB flash drive that contains the 
BIOS file to the USB port.
3. 
The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When found, the utility 
reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility automatically.
4. 
The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS setting. To ensure 
system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F5> to load default 
BIOS values.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause 
system boot failure!
