A system suspending method, a system resuming method and a computer system using the same are provided. The system resuming method of the computer system is applied for resuming the computer system to be a normal status (Sstatus) from a suspend-to-ram status (Sstatus) or a suspend-to-disk status (Sstatus). The computer system includes a plurality of peripheral devices and a central processing unit. The peripheral devices are classified into a first group and a second group. The system resuming method includes the following steps. The central processing unit is powered on. Then, the peripheral devices belonging in the first group are resumed. Next, the computer system is thawed.

Method for generating a reduced snapshot image for booting and a computing apparatus are provided. An embodiment of the method includes the following. In response to a shutdown request, it is determined whether a specific boot mode is enabled. When the specific boot mode is enabled, a threshold parameter set for process killing is assigned. If a first memory unit of the computing apparatus has at least one process satisfying a process killing condition, the at least one process satisfying the process killing condition is killed. The process killing condition includes a criterion based on the threshold parameter set. A hibernation process is entered, wherein the hibernation process generates a snapshot image for booting and stores the snapshot image in a second memory unit of the computing apparatus and the snapshot image includes at least one process reserved in the first memory after the killing step.
