    Abstract: A system and method for storing data associated with a system management interrupt (SMI) in a computer system. Notification of a system management interrupt is received on a central processing unit. The central processing unit enters a system management mode. A system management handler of a basic input output system (BIOS) is executed by a bootstrap processor of the central processing unit. The system management interrupt is initiated via the bootstrap processor. The system management interrupt data is stored in a register of the bootstrap processor. The SMI data is converted to an accessible format. The converted SMI data is stored in a memory.
