Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a monitoring system and method for operating a system management interrupt. More specifically, it is applied to an electronic device such as a computer, which is used to provide a System Management Interrupt (SMI) signal to monitor the soft and hardware operation status of the electronic device and the electronic device. When the fault occurs, the cause of the fault can be determined. [Prior Art] Currently in the development of electronic equipment, such as computers, servers, etc., testers need to test under different operating systems. During the test, the testers find that the electronic equipment has been in operation for a long time. Then, the operation suddenly hangs (Hang), which may be due to the system's deadlock or Live Lock, the system performance is deteriorating, and the system works slowly. In this case, the tester needs to judge. Whether the cause of the abnormality of the electronic device is a hardware failure, a basic input/output system (BIOS), and an abnormal operation of the software, etc., due to factors such as hardware, software, and firmware, etc., Testers can't immediately determine the cause of the anomaly and eliminate it, thus extending product development time. If the cause of such an abnormality occurs in a network server, it will seriously affect the performance of the network system. In the current electronic device design, when an element or component communicates abnormally, such as Memory Single Bit Error, Memory Multi-Bit Error, PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E/System Operation Cycle 5 18236 1305305 Parity Error/System error, fan abnormal SMI, system overheat SMI, CPU Internal error SMI, CPU Machine Check SMI, NMI (Non Mask Interrupt) boot to SMI, 10 Check error SMI, etc., usually start SMI signal to request the CPU immediately Jump to SMI. The handler goes to execute its corresponding event. It can be seen from the above that the tester can know that the operation of the electronic device is abnormal through the generation of the SMI signal. However, since the electronic device does not perform subsequent processing and analysis on the related information of the generated SMI signal, it is tested. The process does not effectively monitor all SMI signals. Therefore, how to use the system management interrupt to achieve the analysis and detection of operational anomalies is a problem that is currently being solved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above disadvantages of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide a control system and method for using system management interrupts, so that testers can detect when a device malfunctions or occurs abnormally. Reasons occur and are quickly eliminated to reduce the time required for electronic device development. It is another object of the present invention to provide a monitoring system and method for utilizing system management interrupts to effectively monitor and record all SMI signals for use in analyzing the operational status of the electronic device. To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a monitoring system and method for managing system outages. The monitoring system for operating system management interruption of the present invention is applied to an electronic device for monitoring and recording the operation status of the electronic device, and the system at least includes: generating a corresponding system management interruption according to the operating state of the electronic device (System management 6 18236 1305305 22 P = _Mi signal phase (four) material system management interrupt signal generation ',: two storage area and the second data storage area storage unit, = 嶋 area for storage system management interruption = system The official interrupt signal generator and the storage unit are electrically connected: the processing program is configured to receive the system management interrupt signal to generate a crying = Lv = phase «material, the received (four) SMI signal (4) the second data storage area.
