To perform a diagnostics scan to check for problems on your with your cpu.
Select Scan from the Diagnostics box.
A process begins of scanning the cpu for WMI data.
This data is granular diagnostic data for each sensor type.
Once the cpu is scanned a 3D version is populated with color coded status sensors.
Green signifies that the cpu is OK.
Yellow shows the cpu is in a warning state.
This doesnt always mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the cpu..
Red indicates an error in the cpu.
The main status of the cpu is in the Status box.
Click on the cpu and detailed data will appear in the Diagnostics box.
Note that WMI does not always return data as to the status of the cpu, so in some instances the cpu will not have status available and may show a Warning.. This doesnt mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the cpu..
A data table of OK, Warning or Error messages is available by clicking on the bottom tabs.
By default WMI returns some data about the status of various messages.
Last Message box
This is generally the main message about the state of the hardware cpu. The usual state is OK. This means the cpu is working as expected.
Quite often you will find no message returned by a sensor. This is nothing usually to worry about.
In some cases, for various reasons the cpu just doesnt produce a message.
OK
The OK message will produce a Green color for the cpu.
error
The cpu has produced an error, indicated by red.
degraded
The cpu has been degraded, indicated by red.

lost comm
Communication with the cpu has been lost, indicated by yellow.
This doesnt mean a failure, just that there is no contact with the cpu.
N/A
No message details is available.
