Abstract
The invention relates to a computer system (1) including a system component (2) having at least one processor (5) and also at least one non-volatile memory chip (9) for storing at least one installed firmware component of the computer system (1). The computer system includes a system monitoring chip (17), at least one internal expansion interface (15) which is functionally coupled to the system monitoring chip (17), and a non-volatile storage medium (16) which is connected to the internal expansion interface (15). The system monitoring chip (17) is set up such that, when the computer system (1) is started, it compares the installed firmware component of the non-volatile memory chip (9) with a desired firmware component of the non-volatile storage medium (16) and, upon finding a discrepancy between the installed firmware component and the desired firmware component, it starts the computer system (1) using the desired firmware component.
