Troubleshooting Your Computer
You can troubleshoot your computer using indicators like Diagnostic Lights, Beep Codes, and Error Messages during the
operation of the computer.
Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment (ePSA)
The ePSA is a diagnostic utility available on your computer. This utility includes a series of tests for a computer's
hardware. You can run these tests even if the computer lacks any media (hard drive, optical drive, etc.). If a ePSA-tested
component fails, the system displays an error code and generates a beep code.
