Memory detecting method

Abstract

The invention discloses a memory detecting method, which is applied in the main-board firmware, comprises at least: (a) a plurality of DIMM Slots are detected to judge whether at least a memory exists, and the step (d) is carried out if yes and otherwise the step (b); (b) an initial program is loaded on a high-speed buffer of the memory; (c) a display equipment is driven by the initial program; (d) displaying the detecting information of the memory via the display equipment, wherein, the memory detecting information is a memory state information or an error message of non-memory-insertion. On one hand, the invention can lower the possibility of misinsertion of memories with different capacity and bring into play indirectly of the integrated performance of the memory; on the other hand, the memory or the system can be caused to be unable to operate by the misinsertion or non-memory-insertion when the user buys memories with different brands.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides a method for detecting memory, especially a method for the firmware of the motherboard to detect whether the memory is mixedly inserted, whether the capacity of the memory is the same, and report an error message. Background technique [0002] Knowing the firmware of the mainboard, there is no provision for judging mixed memory (different brand), different capacity and no memory, etc., to make a judgment and give an error warning to the user. If DIMMO has no memory, and other DIMMs When plugged in, the firmware of the known technology will still determine that there is no memory, which will cause the machine to fail to boot, and the user will not receive any error message when the memory is mixedly inserted or the capacity is wrong, and the user will start the machine. Although it will not cause system damage, it may also cause failure to boot or incomplete operation of the memory, indirectly causing loss of money and eff...
