Self-troubleshooting with HP Vision Diagnostics
Hewlett-Packard Vision Diagnostics is a diagnostic tool that can be used by the end user or technical
support personnel to view information about the hardware configuration of the computer and perform
hardware troubleshooting on HP Desktop and Workstation systems. This diagnostic tool should be used
to help determine hardware failures. Accessible by either CD or USB key, these diagnostics run outside
the operating system and so make it easy to isolate potential issues that may be operating system
related versus hardware.
HP Vision Diagnostics benefits are:
Capture complete system configuration information that can be shared as an HTML file, including:
●
System serial number
◦
System product number
◦
System BIOS revision
◦
ENWW
