Abstract
A temperature monitoring system includes a temperature sensing device, a management controlling device and a logic device. The temperature sensing device monitors temperature of a central processing unit of a computer system, and sets a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold. The management controlling device determines whether the temperature is higher than the first temperature threshold, and further determines whether the temperature is higher than the second temperature threshold when the temperature is higher than the first temperature threshold. The logic device controls the computer system to turn on or shut down. When the temperature is higher than the second temperature threshold, the management controlling device controls the logic device to execute a forced shutdown of the computer system, locks a power button of the computer system and stores an event log.
