2.1.4 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore
the BIOS le when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can
update a corrupted BIOS le using the motherboard support CD that contains the
updated BIOS le.
• Prepare the motherboard support CD containing the updated motherboard
BIOS before using this utility.
• Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS le CD to
P5GMX.ROM.
Recovering the BIOS from the support CD
To recover the BIOS from the support CD:
1. Remove any USB oppy device, then turn on the system.
2. Insert the support CD to the optical drive.
The utility automatically checks the optical drive for the original or updated
BIOS le. The utility then updates the corrupted BIOS le.
