<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a system starting time by appropriately omitting a memory error check when a system starts, and to prevent a delay in discovering of a memory error from occurring. <P>SOLUTION: The whole storing region of a volatile memory is equally divided to 16 memory blocks which are isolated from each other into four groups. The four groups are made object regions to be checked when a power supply is turned on. The 16 memory blocks are divided into four groups (i=0-3) in which the memory blocks are prevented from overlapping with each other. The object region of the memory error check is changed so that one of the four groups sequentially shifts every time the power supply is turned on. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
