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

Input/Output System (BIOS) setup:
1.  ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 : Allows you to recover the BIOS using a bootable 

USB flash disk drive when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.

2.  ASUS EZ Flash 2 : Allows you to update the BIOS using a USB flash disk.
3.  BUPDATER utility : Allows you to update the BIOS in DOS mode using a 

bootable USB flash disk drive.

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 containing the original or new BIOS file to the USB 

port.

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

BIOS recovery is 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.
