Overview of the Advanced System Tests
The advanced system tests can be used to test each of the computer’s components.
These tests are more thorough and cover a wider range of functionality than the basic
system tests. Some of the advanced tests require user interaction.
Unlike the basic system test which tests numerous components automatically, you must
manually select each test you want to run. You can run the test just once or, in many
cases, select the loop option to run the test repeatedly until you choose to stop it. Loop
mode is useful for hardware problems that occur intermittently.
How to Enter the Advanced System Tests
The advanced system tests can only be entered after the basic system tests have been
completed. To enter the advanced system tests:
1 Start e-Diagtools. To learn how to do this, refer to chapter 2, “Starting e-Diagtools“.
2 Follow the instructions on the screen to proceed with hardware detection. Hardware
detection is described in chapter 4.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the basic system test. The basic
system test is described in chapter 5.
4 Press < F2 > to enter the advanced system tests.
