Computer breakdown detecting method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a computer breakdown detecting method and device. The method comprises the steps of sending a system management interrupt signal to a processor of the computer, wherein the processor enters a system management mode after receiving the system management interrupt signal, and the system management model is independent of an operating system of the computer; carrying out a preset detection command under the system management model through the processor so as to generate a corresponding detection signal, and judging the reasons why there is breakdown in the computer according to the detection signal. For the computer which has a dead-halt break down, judgment whether the break down belongs to the dead-halt caused by software or belongs to the dead-halt caused by hardware can be accurately made through the method and device, and thus the method and device makes it convenient for a user to quickly and accurately find and solve the dead halt breakdown of the computer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer detection, in particular to a computer fault detection method and device. Background technique [0002] During the research and development of computers (including desktop computers and notebook computers) or consumer use stages, system crashes often occur. At this time, it is often impossible to accurately determine whether the specific situation is due to hardware crashes or software crashes, so that it is difficult to solve the crash problem. There is a deviation in the general direction, and the fault cannot be located and resolved quickly. Because when the computer system crashes, the appearance is the same, for example, the mouse cannot be moved, the caps lock light does not respond, the screen does not update, etc. Therefore, the above-mentioned problems cause troubles for R&D personnel and consumers to accurately judge and eliminate faults in a short period of time. [0003] Generally speaking, t...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] During the research and development of computers (including desktop computers and notebook computers) or consumer use stages, system crashes often occur. At this time, it is often impossible to accurately determine whether the specific situation is due to hardware crashes or software crashes, so that it is difficult to solve the crash problem. There is a deviation in the general direction, and the fault cannot be located and solved quickly

Because when the computer system crashes, it looks the same from the surface, for example, the mouse cannot be moved, the caps lock light does not respond, the screen does not update, etc.

Therefore, the above problems have caused troubles for R&D personnel and consumers to accurately judge and eliminate faults in a short period of time.
