7 leading hardware error diagnosis tools for Windows 10
The Windows 10 operating system has an intuitive user interface and quickly becomes a popular operating system, but it's not as perfect as you think. As in other operating systems, there are times when you will face issues such as the blue screen of death, (BSoD) that often hangs the system, lag interface, etc. Most of these problems involve hardware and can lead to greater damage if not resolved.
Currently, many computer hardware diagnostic tools can fix problems immediately. This article will introduce 7 hardware fault diagnosis tools, applied to handle some of the most common errors present in different components of the system. So, instead of hiring a troubleshooting expert for you, you should try these tools first.
Memory Diagnostic Tool
Also known as mdsched.exe, the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool runs comprehensive tests of the computer's memory to find out any errors that might interfere with the normal operation of the system. This tool checks the memory for errors and displays the test results so you can fix the errors. This is one of the built-in diagnostic tools, so you don't need third-party tools. To run this tool, follow the steps below:
Step 1 : Press the ' Win + R ' key to open the Run dialog box.
Step 2 : Enter ' mdsched.exe ' and press Enter to run.
Step 3 : Choose to restart the computer and check for problems or check the problem during the next computer reboot.
In both cases, the Memory Diagnostic Tool will run tests on the computer and will notify you of any memory errors (including RAM) that may cause a system error.
JScreenFix
You notice some points on the screen, not because of dust or stains, very annoying death. Dead spots on the computer screen are a conspicuous color dot, which does not change when neighboring pixels (pixels) change. Such pixels are easy to see when the screen turns black. If the dead pixels are not the result of errors in the screen, JScreenFix can fix this problem. It works by highlighting the affected areas with hundreds of different colors every minute. This way, it only takes a few minutes to unmount the pixels.

CrystalDiskInfo
Most modern computers have Solid State Drive (SSD) with their own advantages but can also suddenly stop working without giving any warning. But if you want to know if your SSD or hard drive is in good condition, CrystalDiskInfo is the tool you should care about. This tool performs a full analysis of the state of your data drives including USB, SSD and hard drives. It calculates the overall status and gives you detailed information on error rate, uptime, spin-up time and temperature. This program has a 'relative' named ' CrystalDiskMark ', which can also be used to evaluate the drive's read and write speed.
Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool
Among all components in the computer, microprocessors are less likely to cause problems. However, they are not immortal and can also malfunction like other components, although it is often the result of a sudden increase in voltage or too high a temperature. Fortunately, the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool can help you troubleshoot any problems caused by the processor. So how does it work? The tool performs various rigorous tests on the microprocessor, examines specific processing features, verifies the performance of the microprocessor and tests brand identity.
The tool then displays the test results. If any test results do not meet the performance standards, the tool will show unsuccessful test results and you will have to consider replacing the new processor. This tool can be downloaded from Intel's website (32 or 64 bit). However, be sure to download the appropriate version for your device.
Angry IP Scanner
Angry IP Scanner is a fast and reliable network scanner for Windows, Mac and Linux. It may not help you troubleshoot your computer, but it can check if any 'uninvited' guests are using your Internet. That may be the cause of slow internet connection. You can use it to check the number of devices connected to your network as well as which IP addresses and ports are being used by different devices.

Reliability Monitor
Reliability Monitor is a hidden 'gem' in Windows that Microsoft needs to emphasize its importance to users. This tool tracks your computer history. Any time your computer crashes, or only an application crashes or behaves abnormally in any way, that status will be recorded in this tool. It also tracks other events such as when Windows Updates load a new fix or when the new software is installed.
The blue line allows estimating the stability of the system over time on a scale of 1-10. To access it, go to Control panel , select System and Security> Security and maintenance> Maintenance> View reliability history . If your system has a lot of errors, this will be the best place to check and find solutions.
Windows System Troubleshooter
There is no better place to look for solutions to the problems of a product that is righteous in the manufacturer's website. Microsoft is aware of errors and other problems that occur in their operating systems, and for that reason, it has created its own troubleshooting tool called Microsoft Fix It Solution Center . Unfortunately, this tool is not available for Windows 10. However, Windows 10 users can use the Windows System Troubleshooter instead. This tool has the ability to solve most problems in the system from audio problems to corrupted programs and other hardware issues.
The biggest advantage when using the Windows system troubleshooter is that it does not require additional software installation. To access the Windows system troubleshooters, simply go to the Control panel and in System and Security , select ' System and Security '. Here, you will find options available to troubleshoot.
It's not too serious if the computer hardware fails because there are a few tools that you can use to troubleshoot in the shortest possible time. Learning about these diagnostic tools can save you time and money to hire an expert. There are many diagnostic tools that you can use to troubleshoot the hardware that was introduced above (which is, of course, incomplete) and hopefully you will find these tools useful. You can re-mark these tools and use them if you encounter similar problems in the future.
