You can validate the integrity of your system through the Run Diagnostics
command.
This command checks the main board functional sub-systems

for each system controller. When you select the Run Diagnostics command,
you will receive a warning indicating that all users (remote and local) will be
disconnected. Click
OK
to confirm and begin the test.
The Diagnostic dialog box appears. The top section of the dialog box displays
the hardware tests. The bottom portion divides the COs tested into three
categories:
online,
offline or
suspect.
Next to each item to be tested, you will see a pass (green circle) or fail (red x)
symbol appear to the left of each item as that test finishes. The chart below
details each of the tests.
