The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility 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 BIOS file.

BIOS file from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.
