Method to quickly accomplish computer system starting self-testing

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for completing the start self test of computer system, which comprises: first, when receiving one start signal, executing the start state group obtained by normal start self test; then adding one quick start mark into the computer system, to represent the stored start state data; when receiving the start signal again, checking if there is the quick start mark; if there is, reading the start state data inside the storage device, and executing the quick start state response program, to complete the start self test process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for quickly completing the boot self-test of a computer system, in particular to a method for quickly completing the boot self-test of a computer system that shortens the time required for a Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) to enter an operating system . Background technique [0002] In the computer system, when the user activates the power button, the computer system will firstly be initialized and perform a Power On Self Test (POST) process. The power-on self-test process executes a series of instructions in the basic input / output system to initialize various hardware devices in the computer system and detect the status and settings of individual hardware, such as memory, hard disk, display card, or peripheral devices such as Hardware such as keyboard and mouse. [0003] After the computer system completes the POST process, it executes the interrupt processing function to load the operating system into the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] At present, whenever the user restarts the computer system, the computer system will automatically execute this power-on self-test program to provide the user with the option to change the hardware settings, which generally takes 7 to 9 seconds

However, for ordinary users, they often just sit and wait during the process of POST in the computer system. For computer systems that emphasize high timeliness and convenience, this POST process redundant and inefficient

Especially for computer systems with less expandable functions, such as notebook computers, general users rarely change their hardware status and settings, that is, the hardware status and settings in such computer systems are usually It remains unchanged. If you still check its status one by one every time you turn it on, it will be superfluous and unnecessary.
