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 21).

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).

Starting the Dell Diagnostics From Your Hard Drive

1Shut down and restart the computer.

2When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F12> immediately.

NOTE: If you receive a message stating that no Diagnostics utility partition has been found, follow the instructions to run the Dell Diagnostics from your Drivers and Utilities CD.

If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer through the Start menu and try again.

3When the boot device list appears, highlight Boot to UtilityPartition and press <Enter>.

4When the Dell Diagnostics Main Menu appears, select the test you want to run.

5Close the test screen to return to the Main Menu screen. To exit the Dell Diagnostics and restart the computer, close the Main Menu screen.
