3.1.4 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, the USB flash
disk, or the floppy disk that contains the updated BIOS file.
Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk
To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the floppy disk with the original or updated BIOS file to the floppy disk
drive.
3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the
floppy disk for the original or updated BIOS file.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
Floppy found!
Reading file “P5QEMDO.ROM”. Completed.
Start flashing...
When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and starts flashing the corrupted
BIOS file.
• Prepare the motherboard support DVD, the USB flash disk, or the floppy
disk containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
• Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the floppy
disk or the USB flash disk to P5QEMDO.ROM.
If your display monitor is connected to the onboard VGA connector,
the display monitor will turn-off and the system will beep once while
CrashFree BIOS 3 starts updating your system. The system will
beep once again while the process is finished, and the display will
return after the system restarts.
