To perform a diagnostics scan to check for hardware problems on your pc.
Select Scan from the Diagnostics box.
A process begins of scanning the PC for WMI data.
This data is granular diagnostic data for each sensor type.
Once a the pc is scanned a 3D version is populated with color coded status sensors.
Green signifies that the component is OK.
Yellow shows a component is in a warning state.
This doesnt always mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the component..
Red indicates an error in the target component.
The main status of a component is in the Status box.
Click on the component and detailed data will appear in the Diagnostics box.
Note that WMI does not always return data as to the status of a component, so in some instances components will not have status available and may show a Warning.. This doesnt mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the component..
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
