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 20).

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).
