COMPUTER AND ITS CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: A computer and its control method are provided to use data on internal temperature of a CPU sensed by a temperature sensor by selectively using use between power control circuit and a CPU cooler. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises a temperature sensor(7), a power control circuit(13), a CPU cooler(31), and a device selector. The temperature sensor(7) senses internal temperature of a CPU. The power control circuit(13) cuts off power supplied by a power source in a case that the sensed temperature is over a certain monitoring reference. The CPU cooler(31) cools the CPU based on the sensed temperature. The device selector makes the temperature sensor connect to either the power control circuit(13) or the CPU cooler(31).
