HP Hardware Diagnostic Tools is a hardware diagnostic program that is preinstalled on your computer.
Use it to test computer hardware and troubleshoot computer issues.
Step 1: Before you begin

however, some tests may take longer and use a lot of system resources. Turning off non-essential
applications helps the tests run more efficiently.

Hardware Diagnostic Tools provides a lot of information. For best results, read and follow the
instructions as they are displayed. The instructions may be displayed before, during, and after the tests
are run.
