Abstract

A method for tuning memory parameter values and a computer system using the same are disclosed. In the invention, the computer system provides an embedded controller which may accumulate a counting value and send a reset signal to reboot the computer system. Firstly, the embedded controller reloads a memory parameter value corresponding to the counting value. Then, the computer system executes a memory test procedure. When the memory test procedure successes, a BIOS stores the memory parameter value. On the contrary, when the memory test procedure fails, the embedded controller accumulates the counting value and sends the reset signal to reboot the computer system. The BIOS reloading another memory parameter value corresponding to the accumulated counting value and re-executes the memory test procedure.
