Using the e-Diagtools Diagnostic Tests The e-Diagtools hardware diagnostic program included with your notebook provides two levels of testing: automated testing using its basic hardware test, and advanced testing using individual hardware tests. The tests are designed to run after the system reboots. This ensures that the notebook will be in a predictable state, so the diagnostic program can properly test the hardware components. The tests are non-destructive and are intended to preserve the state of the notebook. The notebook reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded. 1.
