Claim 15:
16. A system for component management, the system comprising:
a first component;
a second component;
a third component;
a memory; and
a processor that is coupled to the memory and that is configured to:
identify an action to be performed using the first component as part of a process to be performed using the system;
determine an estimated combined power draw rate from use of the first component to perform the action while the second component and the third component are also used;
determine that the estimated combined power draw rate exceeds a first threshold associated with risk of brownout to the system without exceeding a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold, wherein the second threshold is associated with a risk of blackout to the system;
determine, based on a power draw of the second component and on a power draw of the third component and on the process, that disabling the second component is configured to reduce the risk more than disabling the third component; and
temporarily disable the second component while performing the action using the first component and until the action is complete without disabling the third component based on the determining that disabling the second component is configured to reduce the risk more than disabling the third component.
