2-6 Chapter 2: BIOS setup
2.1.4 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 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, the USB ash
disk, or the oppy disk that contains the updated BIOS le.
Recovering the BIOS from a oppy disk
To recover the BIOS from a oppy disk:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the oppy disk with the original or updated BIOS le to the oppy disk
drive.
3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the
oppy disk for the original or updated BIOS le.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for oppy...
4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for oppy...
Floppy found!
Reading le “P5BVMDA.ROM”. Completed.
Start ashing...
When found, the utility reads the BIOS le and starts ashing the corrupted
BIOS le.
• Prepare the motherboard support CD, the USB ash disk, or the oppy
disk containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
• Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS le in the oppy
disk or the USB ash disk to P5BVMDA.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 nished, and the display will
return after the system restarts.
