Regarding the PC-Diagnostic Utility
NOTE
Run this utility using the default settings in the Setup Utility. If the Setup Utility or other settings will not allow a hard-
ware to be executed, the hardware icon will be displayed in gray.
For the hard disk only, you can select standard diagnostic check or extended diagnostic check.
When the PC-Diagnostic Utility starts up, it will run the standard diagnostic check. The extended diagnostic check is
more detailed, and so requires a longer period of time to run.
When the video diagnostic check is running, the display may be distorted, and when the audio diagnostic check is
running, sounds may be generated from the speaker. These are not malfunctions.
You can check the status of the diagnostic check by the display color on the left side of the hardware icon (A).
• Aqua: Not running diagnostic check
• Alternating blue and yellow: Currently running diagnostic check. The interval of the alternating colors dif-
fers depending on the type of diagnostic check currently running.
During memory diagnostic check, the display may freeze for a long period of time. Wait until the process is
complete.
• Green: No problems discovered
• Red: Problems discovered
We recommend that you use the touch pad for operations. When not using the touch pad, you can operate using the
internal keyboard instead.
