  • Patent number: 8060737
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for preventing a basic input/output system (BIOS) from failing to enter a boot program are adapted to solve the problem that when a central processing unit (CPU) executes a first instruction after a computer is powered on, a start address to be executed is erroneously set as another corresponding start address, resulting in that a BIOS cannot enter a boot program. In the method of the present invention, a jump instruction is written to the corresponding start address, so as to enable an execution instruction to jump to a boot block of the BIOS when the start address is erroneously set in the computer, thus performing a normal boot operation.
