In the embodiment of the present invention, after the motherboard 110 is turned off, the standby power provided by the power supply (not shown) is received as a power source for standby of a part of the devices, so the detection circuit 111 can count the provided time of the standby power as the off-time Toff and count the off-time of the standby power as the power-on-time Ton, wherein the detection circuit 111 updates the off-time Toff when the motherboard 110 is turned on and updates the power-on-time Ton when the motherboard 110 performs a turn-off procedure.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the detecting circuit 111 may count the number of times of abnormal power failure of the motherboard 110 as the power failure number Tout, where the abnormal power failure may be a shutdown behavior of the motherboard 110 without shutdown.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the off-time Toff is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first comparison result CP1 is enabled; when the off-time Toff is smaller than the first threshold, the first comparison result CP1 is disabled. When the power-on duration Ton is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second comparison result CP2 is enabled, and when the power-on duration Ton is less than the second threshold, the second comparison result CP2 is disabled. Enabling a third comparison result CP3 when the restart times Trst is greater than or equal to a third threshold value; when the restart time Trst is less than the third threshold, the third comparison result CP3 is disabled. When the power-off frequency Tout is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, the fourth comparison result CP4 is enabled, and when the power-off frequency Tout is less than the fourth threshold, the fourth comparison result CP4 is disabled.
When one of the first comparison result CP4 to the fourth comparison result CP4 is enabled, the comparison circuit 115 provides the enabled detection prompt signal Shd to the prompt circuit 120.
In another embodiment of the present invention, when the first comparison result CP1 is a ratio of the off-time Toff divided by the first threshold, the second comparison result CP2 is a ratio of the power-on using time Ton divided by the second threshold, the third comparison result CP3 is a ratio of the restart time Tout divided by the third threshold, and the fourth comparison result CP4 is a ratio of the power-off time Tout divided by the fourth threshold. Next, the comparison circuit 115 may utilize the first comparison result CP1 to the fourth comparison result CP4 to obtain a safety factor, and enable the detection prompting signal Shd when the safety factor is greater than or equal to the safety guard value, and disable the detection prompting signal Shd when the safety factor is less than the safety guard value.
The operation manners of the first comparison result CP1 to the fourth comparison result CP4 may be directly added, or the first comparison result CP1 to the fourth comparison result CP4 are multiplied by corresponding weight values and then added, which may be determined by persons skilled in the art, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
