Chapter 5. Diagnostics Diagnostic programs are used to test hardware components of your computer. Diagnostic programs can also report operating-system-controlled settings that interfere with the correct operation of your system. You can use the preinstalled diagnostic program to diagnose computer problems, if your computer is running in the Windows® operating system. Notes: 1. Depending on the date when your computer was manufactured, your computer is preinstalled with either the Lenovo Solution Center program or the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program for diagnostic purposes. For more information about the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program, see "Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox" on page 33. For more information about the Lenovo Solution Center program, see "Lenovo Solution Center" on page 34. 2. You can also download the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostic program from http://www.lenovo.com/support. See "PC-Doctor for DOS" on page 34 for detailed information. 3. If you are unable to isolate and repair the problem yourself after running the programs, save and print the log files created by the programs. You will need the log files when you speak to a Lenovo technical support representative.
