BIOS for the ASUS M5A97 desktop motherboard, board revision 1.02, in a 2.26 MB RAR. The M5A97 is an AMD 970 chipset AM3+ board. A clean image like this is used to recover a board with a corrupted BIOS by writing the flash chip in a programmer after removing it from its socket or clipping onto it. Save the existing contents first, and check that the file size matches the chip capacity and the revision printed on the PCB matches 1.02.
