ABSTRACT:
A computer debug method includes following steps: a Power-On Self Test (POST) is started; several function tests of the POST are executed respectively, wherein at least one set of codes corresponding to each following executing function test is stored in a memory before executing each of the function tests; when the POST is interrupted, wait for a user to input a guess signal through an input device; compare the set of stored codes in the memory with the guess signal; a signal representing that the set of stored codes in the memory equals to the guess signal is output if the set of stored codes in the memory equals to the guess signal.
