Fixing device-related problems If you do not have a hardware conflict, but you think your problem could be related to one of your computer's devices, the first thing to do is run the system verification test, TDIAGS, which is preinstalled on your computer. This test confirms that the factory-installed devices connected to the computer are working. It includes testing the memory, hard disk, diskette drive, display, and additional devices you may have connected to the system. Part II: Technical Reference
