Abstract: A method for achieving power saving for computers through memory throttling by adding the appropriate program codes into the BIOS, so that the invention may set the register of a north bridge chip according to the needs of the user, and enable or disable the memory throttling function provided by the chipset.

Abstract: A method of debugging using a USB connecting system. A debug signal function is installed in the BIOS of a target PC, and a host PC is provided with monitor software. A USB interface is used to connect the target PC and the host PC, using the host PC to monitor the debugging state of the BIOS of the target PC. The invention thus achieves the goal of debugging a system through a USB.

Abstract: A thermal control method for computers, using the advanced configuration and power interface as the main improvement. The method of the invention introduces a program design in the operating system (OS) and the basic input output system (BIOS), so as to provide a proper cooling method.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a BIOS debug method, which adds an error output command (a command that outputs a particular to a debug port) at a proper position in each sub-routine of a power on self test (POST) and inserts a condition before the error output command so that only when the condition holds will the error output command be compiled and executed. The place to put in the error output command can be when there is more than one setting or initialization hardware devices or a test step is too tedious. Through the condition, the enable state of the error output command can be controlled to be enable or disable, whereby the BIOS is determined to be a test version or a final version. The invention thus provides a test operation in manufacturing that can correctly find out the hardware or cause that results in test errors without affecting the BIOS execution efficiency under normal uses.

Abstract: This specification discloses a decompression software package that can store files in an assigned storage device, which is mainly used to restore the previously partitioned/compressed files such as drivers, application programs or utilities downloaded from the network to a user assigned path or storage device. By directly running a decompression program, such as a quick release sector transfer (QRST) utilities, the user can select for the file to be restored a path of the storage device, such as a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive, an LS-120 or zip drive, or a hard drive. While restoring/decompressing the file, the software data such as the name of the software, version, etc, can be recorded to the aforementioned path, and a directory name can be built automatically at the same.
