I realize that HP has some great tools and I'm hoping that a guru will reply to this thread and add their comments. Memtest and seatools dos are both live CD's and should boot even if you don't have a working OS.Īnother live CD is the system repair CD and the system recovery discs that you should have created on day one. One way to test your memory is memtest86. One that comes to my mind is seatools dos. Now IMHO, you have proved that your monitor,power supply, and CPU are working. Old PCs that no longer work with new systems will still work good-as-new with Puppy. You do not need a HD.Įven if your PC has no hard disk (ex, broken hard disk), you can still boot Puppy via CD or USB and continue working. It is a live CD and you can boot with it. This is a ISO file that you burn to a CD. Now IMHO, we have software or hardware problems. Let's say we have a PC that won't boot into windows for some reason. I would like to have comments from all the smart members here on the community forum. I have some things that I have learned from other forums and I want to share them. I have observed some great advice to community members from some smart people here on the forum. I do not own a HP computer at this time, but several of the residents in my village do.
