Question of hardware diagnostic tools

My monthly hardware diagnostic test ran and it showed:

in the category of instruments 'storage '.

storage-"smart auto court" has failed. It had on it. HD521-2W

She supposed to check help and support center but that was no help to me at all.

Can someone give me an idea what I'm up against? I don't know even where to start.  If I was a technician, it would be probably better.

Thank you in advance.

Your questions are valid and thoughtful.

If the plan is to backup your important files, etc. on an external hard drive and nothing to do with the old PC, so you don't need a 3.5 "SATA hard drive to replace the other.

Your question: "so I guess I'm asking if record these things on the external hard drive will allow me to have these things available to put on a new computer should I have to? Yes.  You will not need the OS or recovery disk\usb license information because your new PC media comes with a.

It is not a simple matter of connecting the disk external usb passport to a usb port on the new PC and using Windows Explorer to search for and copy them to your new PC.

Now put the DIMMs and test your computer again by using the HP Test's diagnosis. If the errors continue, please remove all except one DIMM and test the computer again. Tests if DIMM, remove it and put it aside. Continue his tests the remaining DIMM in the same way, taking care to note that DIMM is good and which are bad.

    Your laptop can use any 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 or 7 mm thickness mobile SATA hard drive where solid state drive. Although they are a little more expensive, I always recommend an SSD instead of a mechanical drive since the upgrade of performance is something you must see to believe. Most of the people who went to SSD swear that they will never return to a mechanical HARD drive. However, some people are on a budget, I know. Portable hard drives are more exotic products. You can pick one up at Best Buy or even Office Depot or order a delivered in 2 days on amazon.com

    After the upgrade to Windows 10, my monthly hardware diagnostic tool did not work. Received a device discovery error suggesting I restart the program or restart my computer. I performed two operations and diagnostic tool still does not work.  Would that be the upgrade of Windows 10 or just a corrupted file?  Never had a problem with this tool before.

    Hello

    Are you referring to the HP Support Assistant?  If so, uninstall the old version via the Control Panel - program and features, and then install the New HP Support Assistant.

    Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

    I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

    You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

    With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

  • What is 5.1.4861.15 hardware diagnostic tools

    What is 5.1.4861.15 hardware diagnostic tools

    Hi Floyd,

    If I am right, it is actually PC-doctor, Inc. Hardware Diagnostic tool which is distributed by some computer program of PC Doctor OEM manufacturers.  The number seems to be a somewhat older version (possibly published with XP systems).  They still do and I have versions for XP, Vista and even Windows 7. If you have upgraded your operating system, the program may or may not work more.  It doesn't seem to be something that you can buy directly (and I don't think that it can be upgraded) - but your computer manufacturer might be able to say more about it.

    Here is the current information on Program OEM's PC Doctor: http://www.pc-doctor.com/pcd_windows.php.  I know that HP and Compaq and Acer and Fujitsu used and can still - and I saw obsolete links and now gone listed this specific version of the program on their systems - but none of their websites discuss the version even if some do not discuss the existence of a program of diagnostics of equipment and how to use it.  Here is an example: If the computer is running XP so that it looks like this (unfortunately not a download link, just info): tests for hardware problems using PC-Doctor - HP Customer Care (United States - English).

    I don't think that it is malware - if I'm wrong.  If your manufacturer says that it was never installed on your computer, so I guess it's possible, but I found only about above it and no mention of all malware related.  In any case, if it was never installed on the system by the manufacturer, then I would probably not use it and may even consider uninstalling just to be on the safe side.  If it has been installed by the manufacturer, try running it to see if it provides you with hardware diagnostic information.  If it crashes or fails to run if you have an operating system upgraded from the original installed OS, then it is probably not compatible and I would just uninstall it as it will be of no use and cannot be upgraded (unless the manufacturer provides one, but it is unlikely) and is just too much room.

    Yet, it can't hurt to run some checks for malicious programs.  Update and run a scan complete with your current AV program.  Then, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.  If they are all come clean and do not show this as a problem, then I would say it is more likely is not malware and don't worry in this regard.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Modem failed the diagnostic test

    I ran a Windows diagnostic test and it came with this test failure modem Agere Systems PC1Soft MC921-2w what it takes please

    Hello

    ·         What is the brand and model of the modem?

    ·         What were the changes made on the computer prior to the question?

    I suggest you contact your ISP or Modem manufacture to improve assistance on the issue. In the meantime, you can follow these steps and check if that helps.

    (a) reset your modem. See the documentation for more information on how to reset the modem.

    (b) If you have an external modem, make sure that you use the right cable series. For more information on the requirements for a proper wiring, refer to the section 'Wiring required Configuration' in aid of Dial - Up Networking.

    (c) If you have an external modem, make sure that the serial cable is properly connected.

    (d) If you use an adapter to connect your external modem to your serial port, make sure that the pin adapter is wired properly for modem communication. For example, a 9-to-25 pin for a mouse adapter malfunctions with a series of RAS configuration.

    (e) test the serial port or multiport card and replace the adapter if necessary.

    (f) ensure that the modem communication protocol options are configured correctly. See the documentation for more information about the different transfer protocol options that are available for your modem.

    (g) contact the modem manufacturer to see if the initialization and configuration information are available for your modem. Also, check the Windows hardware compatibility list most recent (HCL) to make sure that your modem is supported.

    (h) use the Device Manager to remove the modem. You can do this in safe mode or in normal mode. Restart the computer in normal mode. Windows XP will detect the modem and reinstall the proper drivers.

    Hi Pete,.

    You are welcome.

    It is difficult to say exactly why the HARD drive started to fail and there's always a random item concerned - I've known a few hard drives fail after a few weeks, while others can be quite happily far longer than expected.

  • Hardware diagnostic tool

    I have a HP Pavilion G7-1329wm running windows 7. I does not seem that hardware diagnostic tool program.  He seems to be spent on other portable HP like mine, and so I was wondering if there is a place I can download it? I used a link (sp4437.exe) I found on the forum, but after installing it, it says 'this version of diagnostic tools is not approved to run on this system. Y at - it an older version that I need?

    Thank you in advance!

    Your computer uses a Diagnostics UEFI support environment to test the material for questions. Please see HP computers - UEFI and the Start Menu for instructions on using the features of Diagnostics UEFI. Hit "F2" or "ESC" then "F2" at startup should show the UEFI Diagnostics page.

    Hello

    Have you tried to install the latest driver of modem? Please check if you have the right driver for Win Xp. You can find the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    They are a lot of drivers for countries individually.

    In addition, Windows XP SP2 includes the new Windows Firewall. It is possible that the firewall is preventing the modem connection. You can try to disable the Windows Firewall.

    Was it a test drive? If so, it is blocked like this, which indicates that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    If it's a different test, I don't know what to tell you.

    Whatever it is, you can turn it off without damaging the PC.

    Good luck

  • HP TouchSmart 300-1020: buttons HP Support Assistant diagnostic Test does not

    I have HP Support Assistant version 7.7.34.34, which - I think - is the right version for my TouchSmart from HP with Windows 7 64-bit 300-1020.

    When I try to run a diagnostic test (optical drive, USB key, sound card test, test test the printer, hard drive, keyboard, map chart, microphone, mouse), the button snaps (with mouse) for diagnosis, tests do not work.

    Basically... I click on the button for the desired... diagnostic test and nothing happens!

    Troubleshooting apparently buttons function very well... click on one and a convenience store starts.

    What can I do to "solve" the problem of Diagnostics button?  Thank you!
