IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics
The IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics programs use a full range of diagnostic
utilities to determine the operating condition of the computer’s hardware
components.
The diagnostic program includes the following:
v PC-Doctor’s Diagnostic Software
This interface serves as the control program for running both the IBM PC
Enhanced Memory Diagnostics and the suite of diagnostic tests provided by
PC-Doctor.
v IBM PC Enhanced Memory Diagnostics
The memory diagnostic tests determine which memory module (SIMM or
DIMM) is defective and report the socket where the failing module is
located. The Memory diagnostics can run a quick and full test of the
system. Diagnostics can also be run on a single SIMM or DIMM.
Note: See “Chapter 1. IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics error codes” on page 1
