When to Use the Dell Diagnostics
Whenever a major component or device in your computer does not function properly,
you may have a component failure. If you are experiencing a problem with your DellTM
computer, perform the checks in the "Solving Problems" section in the User's Guide
and run the Dell Diagnostics before you call Dell for technical assistance. Running the
Dell Diagnostics may help you to resolve the problem yourself quickly without having
to contact Dell for assistance.
If you are experienced with computers and know what component(s) you need to test,
select the appropriate diagnostic test group(s) or subtest(s). If you are unsure about
how to begin diagnosing a problem, see "Starting the Dell Diagnostics."
Features of the Dell Diagnostics
The Dell Diagnostics helps you to check your computer hardware without any
additional equipment and without destroying any data. By using the diagnostics, you

cannot solve by yourself, the diagnostic tests can provide you with important
information you need when talking to Dell's service and support personnel.
NOTICE: Use the Dell Diagnostics to test only your Dell computer. Using this
program with other computers may cause incorrect computer responses or
result in error messages.
