4.1.3. 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 the motherboard support DVD or a removable
device that contains the updated BIOS file.
• Before using this utility, rename the BIOS file in the removable device into
MA78TMLE.ROM.
• 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.
• The removable devices that ASUS CrashFree BIOS support vary with
motherboard models. For motherboards without the floppy connector,
prepare a USB flash disk before using this utility.
