Abstract
In an image forming apparatus in which a first board including a first central processing unit (CPU) and a second board including a second CPU communicate with each other to control image processing, a monitoring unit monitors whether processing executed by the second CPU is normal. If the monitoring unit determines that the processing executed by the second CPU is not normal, a notification unit notifies the first CPU. The first CPU resets the second board according to the notification.
