A controlling method for protecting an electronic apparatus, performed by the electronic apparatus to determine whether the system temperature thereof is overheated, so as to switch the electronic apparatus into a low-power operation mode when the system temperature is overheated. The controlling method is to monitor an electronic component of the electronic apparatus, so as to obtain the current temperature and the current working power of the electronic component and to determine whether the system temperature is overheated according to the current temperature and the current working power. When the system temperature is overheated, an overheating signal is generated to switch the electronic apparatus into the low-power operation mode.
