Abstract:
A method for recovering a basic input output system (BIOS) and a computer device thereof are disclosed. The computer device includes a motherboard, a power button, a BIOS storage unit, and an embedded controller. The BIOS storage unit is disposed on the motherboard, and it stores a first boot block code and a second boot block code. When the computer device is connected with a power supply to supply standby power to the motherboard, and the power button is not pressed, the embedded controller detects whether the first boot block code is damaged. If the first boot block code is damaged, the embedded controller recovers the first boot block code via the second boot block code.

Abstract:
A method for setting an actual operation frequency of a memory is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a memory model list is provided for selecting a memory model. Then, an estimation operation frequency of the memory is obtained according to the selected model. Finally, the operation frequency of a front side bus (FSB) is adjusted and cooperated with a frequency transformation ratio to generate the actual operation frequency of the memory according to the estimation operation frequency.
Abstract:
A computer system with a dual boot-program area, comprises: a processing unit; a BIOS ROM having a primary boot-program area, a secondary boot-program area, and a BIOS main-code area, wherein a first code is both stored at a first address of the primary boot-program area and a second address of the secondary boot-program area; and a BIOS-switching circuit, connected to the BIOS ROM, further comprising a detecting circuit and an address-switching circuit. The detecting circuit can control the address-switching circuit to be operated in an enable mode or a disable mode. A command, issued from the processing unit and for retrieving the first code, is sent to the first address after a power button of the computer system is pressed if the address-switching circuit is operated in the disable mode; or, the command is sent to the second address if the address-switching circuit is operated in the enable mode.
