The present invention relates to a computer and a method for controlling same, in which power being supplied to a computer peripheral device is completely intercepted in a standby mode (power saving mode) or a monitor power-off mode during use of the computer, and power being supplied to the computer and to the computer peripheral device is completely intercepted when the power of the computer is turned‘off’. Conventional computers have disadvantages that monitor screens are turned off but power is continuously supplied to monitors and computer peripheral devices that consume power in a standby mode (power saving mode) or a monitor power-off mode during use of the computer, and standby power of the computer is wasted when the power of the computer is turned‘off’, and standby power of computer peripheral devices (monitor, printer, speaker, etc.) is continuously wasted. Such an unnecessary power waste may cause energy waste and generation of CO2, thus causing environmental contamination. The present invention solves these problems, which involve power being wasted by a computer and standby power zero being wasted, without unplugging, and inhibits excessive emission of CO2 caused by an unnecessary production of power to reduce environmental contamination. |
