Patent ID: 8271770

Claim:
A computer motherboard with automatically adjusted hardware parameter values, the computer motherboard comprising: a watchdog unit connected to a frequency generator where the watchdog unit is adapted to notify the frequency generator after a predetermined period of time to generate a restart signal that is sent to the computer motherboard and then to automatically start timing or counting after the frequency generator is notified and the restart signal is generated by the frequency generator; the frequency generator for generating and outputting a frequency, and automatically decreasing or increasing, according to notice from the watchdog unit, a current frequency generated by the frequency generator so as to generate a new frequency, output the new frequency, and replace the current frequency with the new frequency; and a hardware parameter value setting unit for setting the frequency generator for a start frequency, setting the frequency generator for an operation mode, and starting the watchdog unit; wherein the computer motherboard receives the restart signal and automatically restarts at the new frequency when the computer motherboard remains unbooted after the predetermined period of time, wherein the frequency generator is configured to increase the frequency when the operation mode is set for overclocking operation of the motherboard and to decrease the frequency when the operation mode is set for power saving operation of the motherboard.
