ABSTRACT:
A computer system which can properly operate even when the power supply is reactivated immediately after its deactivation or when the power supply is deactivated during the execution of a resume process. When after voltage supply to individual components is inhibited by depression of a power supply switch, the power supply switch is depressed again for the voltage supply, a power supply controller determines whether or not a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the voltage supply is inhibited. Upon elapse of the predetermined period of time, the voltage supply to the individual components starts. In the case where a voltage is being supplied to the individual components by depression of the power supply switch, when the power supply switch is depressed again to inhibit the voltage supply, it is determined whether or not a resume process has been completed, or a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the beginning of the voltage supply. When the resume process has been completed, or the predetermined period of time has elapsed from the beginning of the voltage supply, the voltage supply to the individual components is stopped.
