摘要： A method for ensuring normal operation at an Early Power-On Self Test stage of a computer device is proposed. The method is applied to the computer devices having a timing function. A largest execution time for at least an Early POST program is preset, and the actual execution time of the Early POST program is counted when the computer device is activated. If the execution time of the POST program is greater than the largest execution time, the computer devices will then be restarted, the POST program will be re-executed, and the timing process of the POST program will be performed again, until execution time of every Early POST programs is smaller or equal to the corresponding preset largest execution time. Upon which, the timing will be terminated, and the computer devices will be able to enter into the stage of Later POST. This method ensures any Early POST program causing the system to hang to be cleared by automatically restarting the computer system, so that users will not experience system hangs during the Early POST stage.

摘要： A method for updating System Management Basic Input Output System (SMBIOS) data in BIOS of a computer system is provided so as to allow a user to store user-defined information in a storage unit of a computer system, wherein the storage unit has a default SMBIOS data. This method establishes an accessing block in the BIOS that enable the user to access user data, determines whether the accessing block contains the user data after activating the BIOS. If there is user data in the accessing block, the user data is stored in the storage unit and the default SMBIOS data is removed; otherwise, the default SMBIOS data is retained, thereby achieving the advantage of easy update.

摘要： A computer peripheral connecting interface system configuration debugging method and system is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a computer platform that is equipped with a particular type of peripheral connecting interface, such as a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) interface, for automatically finding errors in the PCI system configurations of a group of peripheral devices connected to the PCI peripheral connecting interface, and if errors are found, capable of automatically generating an electronic error report. This fully-automatic debugging capability can help software engineers to more conveniently and efficiently correct the errors in the PCI system configurations on a computer platform.
