Hp Pc Hardware Diagnostics For Windows Assessment

[Curtis Cassel]

Iran a new downlaod from HP called hardware diagnostic and got an failed message on the short drive self test as well as the long drive self test. Both indicate failure id # UC1WJK-7J190N-MFGJL1-60VU03. Can someone tell me what this means? I have 2 factory installed hard drive and they are my C: TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 E: drive HGST HTS541010A9E680. I have been guessing that this is hard drive errors but I would like to understand this.

It is very hard to believe a product from 2015 has one or the other drive going out. After the test there is nothing that tells me which one is going out so I can't tell if it is the operating system drive or the back-up E: drive. I am disappointed with this kind of performance.

Oh, I can understand the disappointment in regard to a failed drive. It's actually the most common component to fail on a computer, but good news for everyone is that the new drive types (SSD) last much longer and are not prone to shock damage like the old spinning disks.

Power on your notebook and press the F2 key at boot to load the HP Diagnostics Utility. Here, you can choose to test by component, select hard drive, then select the drive you wish to test and perform the extensive test.

It means that one or both of the hard drives in your notebook is failing/has failed and should be replaced. If it's your primary drive with your operating system, then you've probably noticed performance issues or issues with random errors appearing.

Some hopeful news is the TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 is a SATA drive so hopefully it is not the issue & it is the back-up drive on E: which is not a SATA drive. So I will go through the individual test & have my fingers crossed it works out. Thanks a Bunch.

I ran the f2 test & sure enough it was the C: drive with the Toshiba HD. I am very disappointed because that laptop is a back up & gets very little use but I guess that is crying over spilt milk. I wonder where to go from here & because of your maybe you have a simple idea. The computer is running & I don't notice any real errors except it runs slower than when it was new. It is just a back-up I use twice a year when traveling. It is running Windows 10 Pro off of drive C: could I save that OS & say move it to drive E: and get along or should I bite the bullet & replace the bad C:? I would like to purchase a safer hard drive if I am going to fix this computers hard drive. If you have some of that expert advice I would sure appreciate a shout out. Thanks for your fast & complete help.

You could clone it to the secondary hard disk and then remove the primary (failed) disk and move the secondary to the primary slot.

You could also just replace the failed drive by purchasing an SSD drive and then cloning the C (primary) drive to it, then remove the failed drive and insert the new SSD in its slot. Everything will stay on the notebook as is (documents/programs) if you choose to clone the disk. Most SSDs will come with the disk cloning software and you'll just need to connect the SSD to your computer to clone the disk (you can do this by temporarily placing it in the secondary slot)

Hi my computer recently started freezing periodically for about 30 seconds so I ran the hardware diagnostic and it failed everything except long drive self-test and battery check but no failure IDs appeared. I also ran sfc /scannow with the result "windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". So clearly my computer (only 2 yrs old) has massive issues but I have no idea of my next step to try and fix it! Any advice?

When it comes to troubleshooting and maintaining the health of your Windows 10 system, running diagnostics is an essential practice. Diagnostics help identify and resolve issues, ensuring your computer runs smoothly. In this guide, we will explore the various aspects of running diagnostics on Windows 10, including the reasons to do so, understanding the diagnostics tools available, and advanced techniques for thorough analysis.

Running diagnostics on Windows 10 serves several purposes. It helps diagnose hardware and software problems, identifies performance bottlenecks, detects malware or viruses, and ensures system stability. By regularly running diagnostics, you can catch potential issues early and take appropriate action, preventing more severe problems down the line.

Windows 10 includes several built-in diagnostics tools accessible through the Control Panel or the Settings app. These tools allow you to check system components, perform system scans, and troubleshoot common issues. Some of the key built-in diagnostics tools are:

In addition to the built-in tools, advanced diagnostics tools offer more comprehensive analysis and troubleshooting capabilities. These tools often provide deeper insights into system performance, hardware health, and system stability. Some popular advanced diagnostics tools for Windows 10 are:

Leverage the Performance Monitor and Resource Monitor tools to track and analyze system performance metrics, resource utilization, and real-time processes. This information can help identify performance issues and resource-intensive applications.

When encountering BSOD errors, diagnostics tools like Event Viewer can provide detailed error codes and logs, aiding in identifying the underlying cause. Additionally, analyzing minidump files can offer insights for troubleshooting.

Diagnostics tools such as Event Viewer and Performance Monitor can help identify application crashes and freezes by analyzing error messages, resource usage, and system events. This information can assist in troubleshooting and finding solutions.

Frequently update your diagnostics tools, including antivirus software, system scanners, and driver update utilities. Staying up-to-date ensures you have the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches.

In addition to the built-in and advanced diagnostics tools provided by Windows 10, consider using external diagnostic software for specific purposes or in-depth analysis. Research and choose reputable diagnostic tools based on your needs and requirements.

Running diagnostics on Windows 10 is vital for maintaining a healthy and efficient system. By understanding the available tools, following best practices, and utilizing advanced techniques, you can effectively diagnose and resolve issues, ensuring your Windows 10 experience is smooth and trouble-free.

To run a diagnostic test on your computer, you can utilize the built-in diagnostics tools in Windows 10. Access the Control Panel or Settings app and navigate to the relevant diagnostics sections, such as Device Manager, Event Viewer, or Performance Monitor. These tools offer various diagnostic functionalities to analyze and troubleshoot system components, performance, and stability.

Windows provides several built-in diagnostics tools for troubleshooting. To run Windows diagnostics, access the Control Panel or the Settings app and locate the specific diagnostic tool you want to use. For example, you can run diagnostics on hardware devices using the Device Manager or analyze system events using the Event Viewer.

To check your hardware health on Windows 10, you can use tools like Device Manager, HWiNFO, or CrystalDiskInfo. Device Manager allows you to view hardware status and manage device drivers. HWiNFO provides detailed information about hardware components and their performance metrics. CrystalDiskInfo monitors the health and performance of your hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs).

To identify hardware problems in Windows 10, you can run hardware diagnostics tests using tools like the built-in Windows Memory Diagnostic, Device Manager, or third-party diagnostics software. These tools can help detect faulty hardware components, such as RAM modules, hard drives, or network adapters, by analyzing system behavior, error logs, and performance metrics.
