Diagnostics; Lenovo Solution Center - Lenovo ThinkCentre M78 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Diagnostics

The diagnostic program is used to test hardware components of your computer. The diagnostic program can
also report operating-system-controlled settings that interfere with the correct operation of your computer.
You can use the preinstalled diagnostic program to diagnose computer problems, if your computer is
running the Windows operating system.
Notes:
1. Your computer is preinstalled with the Lenovo Solution Center program for diagnostic purposes. For
more information about the Lenovo Solution Center program, see "Lenovo Solution Center" on page 53.
2. If you are unable to isolate and repair the problem yourself after running the diagnostic program, save
and print the log files created by the diagnostic program. You will need the log files when you speak to a
Lenovo technical support representative.
