To determine if your Dell computer is experiencing a hardware problem, it is recommended that you first run a hardware diagnostic test. Dell offers both integrated and online diagnostics.

If the computer cannot boot into Windows, run the preboot diagnostic test on a Dell computer:

  1. Turn on the computer and tap the F2 key several times until you see the One Time Boot Menu.
  2. Select Diagnostics and press Enter.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the preboot diagnostic test.
  4. If the tests pass, the hardware devices in the computer are working correctly. The issue is likely related to the operating system or software that is installed on the computer.
  5. If the test fails, make a note of the Service Tag, error code, and validation code. Look up the preboot diagnostic error code.

If the computer can boot into Windows and can access the Internet, run the Dell online diagnostics:

  1. Browse to Dell.com/support.

  5. If the test passes, go to the next step.
  6. If the test fails, contact Dell Technical Support for repair options in your region.
