Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since the main power supply is used by most of the devices, including the central processing unit, hard disk, optical drive, etc., if the main power supply is often cut off and then turned on immediately, it may cause permanent damage to hardware such as hard disks, seriously or even lose important data

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Generally, after changing some specific setting values ​​in the BIOS (such as setting values ​​related to the chipset), the computer system will first interrupt the main power supply, and then restart the computer system. However, frequent power outages may cause permanent damage to hardware such as hard drives. Therefore, the present invention proposes a boot method and its computer system, which can restart the computer system without first interrupting the main power supply. In order to make the content of the present invention clearer, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the present invention can actually be implemented.

[0021] Figure 1A It is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1A , the computer system 100 includes a BIOS 110 , a chipset 120 , a power supply 130 , a signal generator 140 and a switch 150 . Wherein, the chipset 120 is coupled to the BIOS 110 ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a starting method and a computer system thereof. The invention is fit for restarting the computer system after the setting value of a basic input-output system is changed. When the change of the setting value can cause the situation that a main power source is interrupted firstly, and then the computer system is started, the basic input-output system sends a control command to a signal generator to ensure that the signal generator generates a control signal. Subsequently, the signal generator transfers the control signal to a switch to control whether the switch is switched on or not. Then, the switch changes a power-down signal transmitted by a chip set to ensure that a power supplier supplies the main power source continuously for restarting the computer system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a booting method, and in particular to a rebooting method after changing the settings of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). Background technique [0002] In a general computer system, the chipset can be said to play a very important role. In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, the functions of chipsets have become more and more powerful. Among them, the chip set manufacturer Intel has developed a set of powerful management engine (Management Engine) on the chipset produced by it to remotely control and manage the status of the local computer system. [0003] Using such a chipset (for example, Intel ICH7, ICH8 and ICH9 series) computer systems, when the user changes a specific setting value (for example, memory parameters, network card switch, etc.), the computer system will first cut off the main power supply, and then restart the computer system. [0004] However, since the main power supply ...
