- \\\\\ Pc-Check(R) NEW tests, new features, better benefits /////
-
- Pc-Check diagnostic software is used throughout the world giving
- manufacturers, maintenance organizations and users absolute confidence in the
- reliability of their PC hardware. Proven over eight years in the field,
- Pc-Check gives you ease-of-use coupled with comprehensive diagnostic testing.
- Both commercial and individual PC users will identify and correct the most
- evasive PC problems while reviewing hardware configurations and system
- performance. For all users, Pc-Check helps to quickly and accurately identify
- a PC's status for rapid technical support.
-
- Complete Solutions
- --------------------------------------
- Two versions of Pc-Check are available; a DOS version that uses the PC's
- standard Disk Operating System (O/S), and an operating system independent
- version which boots straight from the Pc-Check floppy disk to bypass Windows
- O/S or memory manager interfaces, going directly to the PC's hardware fast.
- The entire diagnostic software suite for either version is contained on a
- single floppy disk, giving fast loading and portability.
-
- Testing Choice
- --------------------------------------
- Pc-Check's extensive range of hardware tests lets you select any of its tests
- for either individual or continuous Burn-in testing. Each test may be set for
- single or any number of passes within each test you require. Over twelve
- 'command line' test combinations can be applied for automatic PC testing
- including interactive tests with POST cards and Status Indicator Boxes
- (S.I.B.s), error log disk files as well as printed reports.
-
- Comprehensive Testing
- ---------------------------------------
- Pc-Check gives you comprehensive test features allowing accurate and rapid
- definition of a PC's hardware configuration. You can count on reliable
- testing for all major hardware components, including printers, with an
- advanced diagnostic menu ready to determine precise error identification of
- both fixed and intermittent faults.
-
- Extensive System Data
- --------------------------------------
- Pc-Check reports on a PC's hardware environment: PCI and other BUS types,
- DOS memory mapping of loaded device drivers, and CMOS editing in two menu
- areas. This means that, installation or reconfiguration of hardware can be
- achieved easily and quickly. Full analysis of all memory areas, cache sizing
- (including L2 or 'fake cache'), hard & floppy drives plus many more, allows
- straight-forward and rapid determination of system performance and upgrade
- requirements.
-
- Continuous Development
- --------------------------------------
- Pc-Check is updated continuously as new PC hardware evolves. Our in-house
- R&D team stays current with technology so our customers benefit from newly
- introduced test functionality such as intelligent test cycles, multimedia
- hardware analysis, and current system identification like PCMCIA and PCI.
-
- Install and Go
- --------------------------------------
- Using Pc-Check as part of their QA strategy, PC manufacturers and service
- groups are able to achieve a dead-on-arrival rate of 0.5% or less. The
- complete Pc-Check kit comes with its test software, loop-back plug set and
- documentation. Fast to install and easy to use, whether you're a manufacturer,
- service organization or PC user, you can be running over 500 sophisticated
- diagnostic tests on your PCs swiftly and easily.
