Abstract: A system and method for preventing a hang up after initiation of a watch dog time out in a computer system. A start-up routine is run via a basic input output system (BIOS). The routine applies settings for hardware components. It is determined if a watch dog timer triggered a restart from timing out when the start-up routine ran previously. The system checks a database storing settings for each of the plurality of hardware components for a proper setting for the hardware components if the watch dog timer triggered the restart. The system applies the settings from the database for the hardware components to avoid another hang up.

Abstract: Boot firmware for a computing device can be modularly and dynamically composed to facilitate implementing changes and updates to a computing device's firmware. The firmware image can include a primary module, which is responsible for certain basic initializations, and a module list, which can include a listing of additional modules that are to be executed during the boot procedure. The module list can be used to identify and access the selected modules from a module library, such as via globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). Once acquired, the selected modules can be executed, taking into account required dependency modules (whether included in the selected modules or not) and configuration settings. The module library can be stored entirely locally (e.g., as part of a distributed firmware image), entirely remotely (e.g., accessible via network connection), or a mixture of locally and remotely.
