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 22).

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.
