Abstract: A computer system is monitored by firmware for a non-conforming state. Upon detecting the non-conforming state, firmware of the computer system outputs a keyboard code that causes an operating system to enter a predetermined state, such as a lock screen or other quiescent display state. A human-perceptible message is displayed at a display device after outputting the keyboard code.

Abstract: An example non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed cause a processor of a computing device to: in response to a trigger of a system management mode (SMM), verify all processor threads have been pulled into the SMM; in response to a successful verification, enable write access to a non-volatile memory of the computing device via two registers, where the writing access is disabled upon booting of the computing device; and upon exiting the SMM, disable the write access via the two registers.
