Hardware Diagnostics

Utilizing the Hardware Diagnostics utility, Dell recommends that you run

diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance regimen to validate that the

system and attached hardware are functioning properly. Because the

diagnostics utility has a physical (as opposed to logical) view of attached

hardware, this utility may be able to identify hardware problems that the

operating system and other online tools cannot. You can use the hardware

diagnostics utility to validate the memory, I/O devices, CPU, physical disks,

and other peripherals.

Performing Hardware Diagnostics

To start the hardware diagnostics utility, click Hardware Diagnostics in the

left pane and click Run Hardware Diagnostics in the right pane. When the

diagnostics utility launches, follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTE: You must reboot your system to exit the Hardware Diagnostics utility and

press <F10> to re-enter USC or USC-LCE.

The results of the diagnostics tests are displayed on the screen when the tests

complete. The test results describe the problems found. You can use this

information to search the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for

details on resolving the problem.

If you want to exit the Hardware Diagnostics utility, press the <Esc> key.

Pressing the <Esc> key causes the system to reboot.
