A computer system and a method of signal transmission via a PCI-Express bus is provided for transmitting a power-saving signal among a plurality of peripheral devices. For the peripheral devices coupled with the system chips can enter a power-saving mode successfully, a signal snooping and blocking manners are introduced into the system chips. The present invention is to improve on a problem that the system chips cannot enter the power-saving mode simultaneously since the system chips don't set any power-management unit therein.
