Dell Diagnostics
When to Use the Dell Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your computer, run the Dell Diagnostics
before you call Dell for technical assistance. The Dell Diagnostics tests
check your computer's hardware without additional equipment and without
the risk of destroying data. When the diagnostics tests complete without
indicating any problems, you can have confidence in your computer's
operation. If the tests indicate a problem you cannot solve by yourself, the
test results provide important information you will need when talking to
Dell's service and support personnel.
NOTICE:
Only use the Dell Diagnostics to test your Dell computer. Using this
program with other computers may cause incorrect computer responses or
result in error messages.
