摘要： A computer platform operating system compatibility management method and system is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a computer platform, such as a network server, for the computer platform to be selectively bootable between an old-version operating system (such as Windows NT4.0) and a new-version operating system (such as Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000). This feature allows the customer to selectively install either an old-version operating system or an new-version operating system successfully onto the server, and allow both old-version operating system and new-version operating system to be compatible with the hardware of the server.

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： A method for executing the power on self test (POST) on the computer system and a method for updating the SMBIOS information partially are provided for a computer system with a first memory and a second memory, wherein the first memory comprises a first storage block and a second storage block. A user can previously set the specific SMBIOS information in the second storage block. And during the POST stage, the default SMBIOS information in the BIOS code loaded from the first storage block to the second memory will be partially updated according to the specific SMBIOS information set by the user. As a result, the purpose of using the appropriated SMBIOS information to initiate the computer system can be achieved.
