摘要： A fan cooling device and a method of controlling a fan rotation speed are provided. The fan cooling device includes a thermo sensor, a thermo monitor unit, a processing unit, a driving unit, and a fan. The thermo monitor unit compares the sensed result from the thermo sensor with at least one threshold, and decides whether or not to send an interrupt event according to the compared result. The processing unit executes an interrupt service according to the interrupt event, and then sets and outputs a value of the fan rotation speed. The driving unit drives the fan and controls the rotation speed of the fan according to the value of the fan rotation speed. The fan sends out a wind flow to reduce the internal temperature of a computer system or a CPU.

摘要： A method for ensuring normal operation at an Early Power-On Self Test stage of a computer device is proposed. The method is applied to the computer devices having a timing function. A largest execution time for at least an Early POST program is preset, and the actual execution time of the Early POST program is counted when the computer device is activated. If the execution time of the POST program is greater than the largest execution time, the computer devices will then be restarted, the POST program will be re-executed, and the timing process of the POST program will be performed again, until execution time of every Early POST programs is smaller or equal to the corresponding preset largest execution time. Upon which, the timing will be terminated, and the computer devices will be able to enter into the stage of Later POST. This method ensures any Early POST program causing the system to hang to be cleared by automatically restarting the computer system, so that users will not experience system hangs during the Early POST stage.

摘要： A method and a system for automatically diagnosing disability of computer peripheral devices are provided. In the method, a set of interrupt configuration data relevant to a disabled PCI peripheral device, including relevant setting values of a hardware IRQ routing, is input and compared with a PCI IRQ routing table pre-stored in a boot control unit. Then, whether errors exist in the current setting values of the relevant control parameters and flags of all the relevant control units are automatically checked. If an incorrect setting value is found, a corresponding diagnosis result message is displayed for informing the user to make a modification. Therefore, users can know the reasons that cause the computer peripheral device to operate abnormally and make the modification quickly and effectively.

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.
