by yourself, the diagnostic tests can provide you with important information you will

need when talking to Dell's service and support personnel. If you are experiencing a

problem with your computer, Dell recommends that you perform the checks in

"Solving Problems" and run the Dell Diagnostics before you call Dell for technical

assistance.

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.

The diagnostic test groups or subtests also have these helpful features:

● Options that let you perform quick checks or extensive tests on one or all

devices

● An option that allows you to choose the number of times a test group or subtest

is repeated

● The ability to display test results or to save them in a file

● Options to temporarily suspend testing if an error is detected, or to terminate

testing when an adjustable error limit is reached

● Extensive online Help screens that describe the tests and how to run them

● Status messages that inform you whether test groups or subtests were

completed successfully

● Error messages that appear if any problems are detected

Starting the Dell Diagnostics

HINT: Dell recommends that you print these procedures before you begin.

Before you can start the Dell Diagnostics you need to reset your boot sequence and

boot from the Drivers and Utilities CD for your computer.
