Dell Diagnostics
When to Use the Dell Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your computer, perform the checks in "Solving Problems" in the
User’s Guide
and run the Dell Diagnostics before you contact Dell for technical assistance.
Running the Dell Diagnostics may help you resolve the problem without contacting Dell. If you do
contact Dell, the test results can provide important information for Dell's service and support
personnel.
NOTICE: If your hard drive fails, run the Dell IDE Hard Drive Diagnostics (see "Running the Dell IDE Hard
Drive Diagnostics" on page 15).
Starting the Dell Diagnostics
Enter system setup as explained in the
User’s Guide
, review your computer’s configuration
information, and ensure that the device you want to test displays in system setup and is active.
Start the Dell Diagnostics from either your hard drive or from the
Drivers and Utilities
CD (also
known as the ResourceCD).
