If you experience a problem with your computer, run the Dell
Diagnostics before you call Dell for technical assistance. The diagnostics tests
check your computer's hardware without additional equipment and without the risk of
destroying data. When the diagnostics tests complete without indicating problems,
you can have confidence in your computer's operation. If the tests indicate a problem you
cannot solve, the test error messages provide important information you need when talking
to Dell's service and support personnel.

computer system. Using this program with other computers may cause incorrect computer
responses or result in error messages.
