ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 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 CD, or the USB Flash that contains the updated BIOS file.
•
Prepare the motherboard support CD, or the USB Flash containing
the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
•
Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS file in the
USB Flash to P5L8L.ROM.
Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk
To recover the BIOS from a USB Flash:
1.
Turn on the system.
2.
Connect the USB Flash to the PC.
3.
The utility displays the following message and automatically checks
the USB Flash for the original or updated BIOS file.

If your display monitor is connected to the onboard VGA connector, the
