3.2.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 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 removable device that contains the BIOS
file.
• The BIOS file in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS file
published on the ASUS official website. If you want to use the newer BIOS file,
download the file at support.asus.com and save it to a removable device.
• The removable devices supported by ASUS CrashFree BIOS utility vary with
motherboard models. For motherboards without the floppy connector, prepare a USB
flash disk before using this utility.

2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the removable device that
