A power-on method for a computer system comprising a processor supporting
Hyper-Threading, a Read Only Memory (ROM) and a main memory, wherein the
processor comprises a cache memory and the ROM comprises BIOS codes. The
power-on method comprises the following steps. First, the processor is
initialized in a Hyper-Threading disabled mode. The BIOS codes is then
copied from the ROM to the cache memory, and the main memory is
initialized by executing the BIOS codes therein. Thereafter, the
processor is re-initialized in a Hyper-Threading enabled mode after the
main memory is initialized. The processor comprises a first logic unit
and a second logic unit. When initializing the processor, a first
potential is applied to pin A31 of the processor, and a reset signal is
delivered to the processor while the pin A31 is at the first potential,
such that the processor is initialized in the Hyper-Threading disabled
mode.
