Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)

Hey guys! 
I just want to post a quick "How To" guide for hardware issues that occur with windows 8 notebooks and how to test them.
HP Support Assistant and HP PC Diagnostics UEFI both provide access to tests that can check for hardware failures. HP Support Assistant is accessed through Windows and HP PC Diagnostics UEFI is accessed by pressing the F2 key while the computer is starting.
If anybody is detecting any type of hardware issues with there Win8 notebook follow thisDOCUMENT.
You will be able to run test like 
HP Battery Check
HP Network Check
HP Hard Drive Check
HP Optical Drive Check
Run-In Test (quickly test the processor, memory, hard drive, battery, WLAN and PCI devices at the same time)
System Tune-Up (comprehensive test of the processor, memory, hard drive, battery, WLAN and PCI devices and video memory)
Hard Disk Test
Memory Test
You can also Testing using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI enables you to test the main components on your computer using quick tests or longer, more comprehensive tests. You can use HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI even if the computer does not open to Windows.

This question was solved.

Thanks for the KUDOS!
If you guys have any questions let me know.

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

    Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
    Lucy

    Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
    Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • IPhone hardware failure in 1 yr 2 months! Can anything be done for replacement?

    I had purchased an iPhone 5 in Nov 2012 here in India (Bangalore) for ~ Rs 45,000.
    However for the past few months it started crashing mysteriously. For the last few days the frequency of crash increased to 20-30 times a day (from the previous 2-3 times a week). Recently after a crash, it rebooted upto the "Recovery Mode" screen only.
    I tried with the latest iTunes to do recovery but it always failed at the _end_ of writing the new software. I even tried the DFU mode, but that too fails right at the end of writing the new software. Sometimes it gave error 12 and sometimes error 9. I've tried different USB cables just to make sure there was no problem there but to no avail!
    I then showed it to the Apple service center folks here (service is provided by an Apple authorised service unit - Ample) but they too were unable to fix it. They said it was a "rare" internal hardware failure. They are asking me to cough up Rs 21,000 for a replacement unit!
    It's barely 2 months out of the warrannty period when the dam phone crashed. This is real poor quality of service from Apple. Is there anything I can do to get my unit replaced? Is there an escalation I can do to get someone's attention in fixing my issue?
    TIA for any tips.

    For the first part, that does beg the question whether this is something that is more of a problem with iCloud than it is other providers, for whatever reason.
    I'm not a huge fan of anecdotal "evidence" in general, but iCloud mail does seem to have the worst reputation for missing messages when compared to Gmail or even Outlook.com, at least going by a quick search. For other iCloud mail users, does this ever concern you? Any former iCloud users who left for similar reasons?

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • Apple hardware test for snow leopard

    I've tried booting from the snow leopard installation disk i have, i've tried holding down both D and Command+D, and neither of these key combinations work. My macbook will just boot like normal. And it's not an optical drive issue because i can hold C and get disk utility. So is the AHT even on this disk?
    Is there another way of testing the hardware or some kind of freeware i can get?

    If your Mac came with DVDs, Apple Hardware Test comes in one of these DVDs. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 Insert the DVD that contains Apple Hardware Test, and hold the D key while your MacBook is starting. Make sure your Mac is plugged in and run an extended test.
    Apple Hardware Test is not included in the retail Mac OS X Snow Leopard disc because there are different versions for each computer

  • Hp Envy Dv7t Quad Edition NOT tested for Windows 10

    I have been waiting for 5 days for the windows 10 update, my windows app says notify me when ready, i check tge update history and it has over 10+ failed attempts to install this new operating system.I havnt gotten a notification even tho it has been trying to download but failing. I tried the command prompt trick to force it and i waited 4 hours until it all downloaded. Then it was preparing to install and it failed. I've also checked if it is even compatible as i bought it january 2013 but it had windows 8 at the time. It tells me on the hp site that it hasnt been tested for Windows 10 and that is my theory on why my update has failed constantly. Even the update trouble shooters show the problem and cant fix it. I dont know what to do at this point i know im not going to maually do it using the creation tool. I am hoping i can get answers or get hp to verify my computer so i can finaly upgrade to windows 10 since it has tried to download and now i am in deep teritory of fear ill mess up my computer. If anyone can help get my model verified or give me a logical answer, i will be gratful.

    Hi all. First off, I'm on a HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook, Windows 10. I've had it for two years now. A while back, it fell off of my bed in college but I didn't have any trouble with it until recently. 
    It took me a while to discover the issue, I thought it was the touch pad because after updating to Windows 10, my buttons on the touch pad will not work. But sometimes when I would adjust my screen, it causes the cursor to move on its own, a bunch of these clear dots show up all down the middle of the screen, and it just clicks and moves things on its own. It's very annoying. The only temporary fix I have found is to use a little pressure onto the touch screen with my hands. It seems to send it back to normal until it acts up again. I'm just wondering, could me dropping it all those months ago be the cause? Should I take it to the shop? It's my school computer so it would have to be either a quick fix over a weekend or something because I need it for school. I've saw others have this same problem and it recommended to download some update, but where I'm windows 10 I can't find it. I just got to thinking that maybe it's where I dropped it a while back. The issue is very annoying and if there's a way to either disable the touch screen or something for Windows 10 to download to maybe try and fix it, that'd be great. It started this over the summer and I'm about to start classes again so I'd hate for this to be an ongoing issue while doing papers and the like.

  • Itunes 7.6 update not passing windows logo testing for compatibility

    I have tried to update itunes 3 times. It downloads fine but when it gets to the installation part, I get a warning from windows saying that this software has not passed the windows logo test for compatibility and that if I proceed with the installaton, The system may get impaired. So I stop installation, but eventually I have to update itunes. My ipod gets updated but itunes is not. Lately I've been having problems with my ipod acting buggy. Is this familiar to anyone? Why is this happening and what do I need to do? Thanks!

  • Can SunMC send mail alert to sysadmin for any hardware failure?

    1. I noticed that the email actions from Attribute Editor Actions Panel is not for all the hardware attribute.
    is there any way to send mail alert to sysadmin for any hardware failure?The out-of-the box notifications in SunMC must be set up for every data point on every system, which can be a pain to configure and manage in all but the smallest environments. And as you've noticed, for some hardware attributes there are no "Actions" tabs the allow you to configure email. To gain the features of centralized notification, and to get alarms from all sources of events in SunMC, you should consider installing [PrimeAlert EventAction|http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/EventAction/index.php] . It ships with a 30-day eval license, and if you need any help setting it up, please let me know.
    2. does SunMC monitor Sun Fire T2000 hardware fully?Yes, the Tx000 series systems have some of the best hardware support available in SunMC. As an example you can look at a T2000 screenshot and list of hardware info [in this post about SunMC and xVM Ops Center|http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=109] .

  • IMac 2011 windows 7/8 reserves 1816 MB ram for hardware

    Hello,
    I have an iMac 12,1.
    When I install windows 7/8 on my iMac it says that 1816 MB is reserved for hardware.
    A fresh install doesn't fix the problem.
    The operating system is 32 bit.
    It isn't a limitation from 32 bit because the limitation is 3.6 gb ram.
    I can currently use 2.2 gb of my 4gb installed.
    Opening msconfig and unchecking Maximum memory doesn't fix the problem.
    Serial number: MC****X/A
    Specifications: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i5-2.5-21-inch-alumin um-mid-2011-thunderbolt-specs.html

    having 32 bit isn't the source of the problem
    It is entirely the cause of the problem
    512 mb video ram
    And that is 512mb of the 1816mb that is reserved, If you check your memory structure I am sure you can find the rest.
    Why you want to use 32bit software on a 64bit system is beyond me, but it is the cause of the problem.

  • Is there an Apple Hardware Test for PowerPC G5?

    Is there an Apple Hardware Test for PowerPC G5? Is it on disc, downloadable from Apple?

    You can call Apple support to find out if they still have original OS X disks available for your system. Apple has been letting the disk inventory run out, so they may or may not still have them. Last I recall they were charging around $60 for the set.
    If the disks are not available, TechTool Pro would be the commercially available hardware test tool that is available: http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=104

  • Publisher hardware failure, can the sub take over for the pub?

    CM 5.1.1.3124-1
    Publisher exprienced a hardware failure due to a power interruption. Can the Subscriber take the Publisher role? Currently unable to send or receive outside calls only local calling is working. I am trying to get calling to work while we wait for the replacement hardware.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    OK, I have made the change to the redundant server, but outside calls are still not going through. The Sub took the place of the primary CM. Are there services on the Sub that need to be started for it to act as a Pub?
