Abstract: A booting verification method for a computer and an electronic device are provided. The booting verification method includes the following steps. Whether a manufacturing mode indication is present is determined. The manufacturing mode indicator is established and the manufacturing mode indicator is set to a predetermined value if the manufacturing mode indicator is absent, where the predetermined value is greater than or equal to 1. Whether the manufacturing mode indicator is greater than 0 is determined if the manufacturing mode indicator is present. A manufacturing booting mode is entered and the manufacturing mode indicator is decreased if the manufacturing mode indicator is greater than 0. A normal booting mode is entered if the manufacturing mode indicator is not greater than 0.

Abstract: A thermal protection method for a computer system including at least a processor includes monitoring the temperature and loading of the processor via a system firmware in the computer system, obtaining the current performance state level and at least an operable performance state levels of the processor when the system firmware determines that the temperature and loading of the processor exceeds a predetermined value respectively, wherein the performance state level is associated to the frequency of the processor, and setting the processor to one of the operable performance state levels, wherein the frequency of the performance state level is lower than the frequency of the current performance state level, according to the current performance state level and the operable performance state levels.
