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 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.

摘要： A method for updating System Management Basic Input Output System (SMBIOS) data in BIOS of a computer system is provided so as to allow a user to store user-defined information in a storage unit of a computer system, wherein the storage unit has a default SMBIOS data. This method establishes an accessing block in the BIOS that enable the user to access user data, determines whether the accessing block contains the user data after activating the BIOS. If there is user data in the accessing block, the user data is stored in the storage unit and the default SMBIOS data is removed; otherwise, the default SMBIOS data is retained, thereby achieving the advantage of easy update.
