摘要： A heat dissipating method is applied to a computer system having a timing signaling mechanism and a temperature sensing unit. Firstly, a process of setting a dissipating temperature operating mode is performed. Then, a periodic signal is regularly transmitted to a basic input output system by the timing signaling mechanism of the computer system, and a temperature of each of hardware devices is regularly sensed by the temperature sensing unit. Subsequently, a heat dissipating unit of each of the hardware devices is actuated to perform a heat dissipation process according to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing unit and the dissipating temperature operating mode. Therefore, the present invention can control operating intensity of the heat dissipating units and achieve hardware monitoring without requiring additional software or hardware, such that heat dissipating and operation efficiencies of the hardware devices of the computer system can be improved.

摘要： A memory reliability detection system and a memory reliability detection method are applied in a computer device to perform a detection process on a motherboard according to a basic input/output system (BIOS) program during power-on of the computer device, so as to allow the computer device to successfully enter an operating system and steadily operate as well as perform an initialization procedure according to the BIOS program. The computer device is allowed to read a parameter of a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) on the motherboard to perform the detection process. If a detection result does not satisfy a predetermined requirement, the DIMM is problematic and recorded in a storage unit, such that the computer device can identify and ignore the problematic DIMM according to the record after power-on, thereby preventing an influence on operation stability of the computer device due to reading the problematic DIMM during operation.

摘要： In a method of integrating image and release note of BIOS, a memory space such as flash ROM used for storing machine codes of the BIOS is planned at least one independent block with a specific length, and each block is used for storing a release note of the BIOS. All release notes of the BIOS are compiled into at least one independent binary module, and the binary module is compressed according to actual requirements. In the process of building the BIOS, the compressed binary module is placed in the image of the BIOS, and the image of the BIOS is written into each block. When a setup utility of the BIOS is executed, all release notes of the BIOS can be displayed through an output device, so that a user can select and search a related item of each release note through an input device such as a keyboard.

摘要： An initialization picture displaying method is applicable to a server such as a network-attached storage (NAS) server without a display chip for remotely displaying working messages of the server. The initialization picture displaying method includes (1) utilizing a chipset to reserve a region of a memory as a display chip buffer, (2) initializing an option ROM completely, and (3) after the option ROM is initialized completely releasing the reserved region of the memory. Therefore, even if the server does not have any display chip, the NAS sever can still correctly remotely display an initialization picture of an option ROM.
