  • Patent number: 8387133
    Abstract: A power on certification method for a personal computer (PC) and a power on certification system thereof are described. The power on method includes the following steps. At least one booting certification device is connected to a PC. The PC is booted, and a basic input output system (BIOS) is run. The BIOS is made to retrieve recognition information of the booting certification device through a verification procedure, so as to judge whether the recognition information is consistent with verification information stored in the PC. After the booting certification device passes through the verification procedure, the PC completes other procedures in the BIOS, and enters an operating system.

  • Patent number: 8245025
    Abstract: The present invention is a computer motherboard with a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) capable of built-in configuration display, characterized in that the BIOS includes a first means and a second means. The first and second means are code internally provided in the BIOS and executable by a CPU of the computer motherboard in an execution environment preset by the BIOS. The first means enables acquisition of CPU configuration data stored on the CPU and configuration data for displaying the CPU. The second means enables acquisition of memory module configuration data stored on at least a memory module and configuration data for displaying the memory module. After the computer motherboard enters a BIOS setup utility, a user selects an option of execution of the first or second means to execute CPU and memory configuration display without using an operating system.
