Computer device and boot method thereof

摘要

A computer device and a boot method thereof are provided. The method is applicable to a computer with a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) and an Operating System (OS). The computer includes a chassis and a memory. In the boot method, after the computer is started, it is judged whether the chassis is opened in an interval from the last boot time to the current boot time. If the chassis is not opened in the interval from the last boot time to the current boot time, the BIOS does not detect hardware elements connected to the computer to obtain setting and parameter values of each hardware element, but reads directly the setting and parameter values of each hardware element that are stored in the memory last time, initializes each hardware element, transmits the setting and parameter values to the OS, and executes the OS to complete the boot process.

1. A boot method of a computer system, applicable to a computer with a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and an Operating System (OS), wherein the computer comprises a chassis and a memory, wherein the memory is a volatile memory, the computer further comprises an auxiliary power source electrically connected to the volatile memory, and the boot method of the computer system comprises:
after the computer is started, judging whether the chassis is opened in an interval from the last boot time to the current boot time; if the chassis is opened in the interval from the last boot time to the current boot time, the BIOS detecting hardware elements connected to the computer to obtain setting and parameter values of each hardware element, initializing each hardware element, storing the setting and parameter values of each hardware element in the memory, and transmitting the setting and parameter values of each hardware element to the OS; if the chassis is not opened in the interval from the last boot time to the current boot time, the BIOS initializing each hardware element by using the setting and parameter values of each hardware element, that are stored in the memory previously, and transmitting the setting and parameter values of each hardware element to the OS; and forming an open circuit or a closed circuit between the auxiliary power source and the volatile memory by opening or closing the chassis.
