best pc diagnostic software

marrittm

Hello... I’m interested to know what software people could recommend for a good free pc diagnostic tool i only used the eurosoft pc check where i worked and it’s very good but very pricey, so if any one has any recommendations for the closest ''but free'' software compared to eurosoft...

thank you all.

Microsoft Fix it centre is free, however the tool you use depends on the nature of the problem, or are you just going for a poke and hope approach.

unless you mean hardware (which very rarely fails and still lets you run a diagnostic), none.

Are you looking at testing memory, CPU, hard disk, ... etc? And as Penrhyn asks, "Why?"

If it's a Dell, they provided diagnostics either on a partition or downloadable from their Support and Drivers website, and burnable to a CD.

to be honest its for personal use and on occasions i do repairs on some pc's and it would just be hepfull to have a diagnostic tool for some of the problems...

The Ultimate Boot CD has been serving me very well for years.

good point disposessed, I use Hiren's (last used a couple of days ago to test some RAM ), having a copy is part of the 'experience' thing

buglawton

Did you mean something like:
SiSoftware Sandra a robust package of diagnostic tools for testing your system and teasing out its problems

it used to be free but now is trialware, there are very similar free ones out there still
