Since numerous operating system-based diagnostic utilities have always been available to see, exercise and resolve conflicts with these devices, 1-TuffTEST-Lite has remained specialized in doing what it does best - directly and rigorously test the PC's basic hardware.ĭown currently TestDisk 2.
These devices require the availability of their own special native operating system-based software drivers and only a utility that runs under the system's native operating system can see and interact with these drivers. False positives and false negatives that can be induced by the system's native operating system are eliminated. For example, to restore useful information from damaged logical drives.
I have found out recently that WinXP and Modbin do not get along even under FAT32 and the command prompt so this will help in that situation too. This information can be used by technicians to diagnose and repair a faulty motherboard.Ī Visual Basic 6 Program, Port In addition this program allows you to use your own Bios definitions that you can create using any text editor. Port80 - What is does: This project decodes the port 80 diagnostic port common to nearly all PCs and displays the last component tested, in English, should the computer hang on power up self test POST. This page is currently under construction. There are plenty of hardware sites out there that are more tailored towards that. None of these tools are designed for enhancing the performance of a system's hardware. Again, use these tools only at your own risk. It is your responsibility to to ensure that your data is backed up before using these tools.
Some of these programs are designed to erase data. Read the documentation that comes with them before using them! The programs come "as is" and I offer no warranty for them, there use, or the end results from them.
Please feel free to download and use these programs and support the developers in making them. Below are some utilities that I have used to diagnose, troubleshoot, test, benchmark and obtain general information about a system. Got a tool or know of one? Let us know by posting it in the forums. Discover The Aptio Advantage.Many files here are outdated and are kept here for historical purposes.
The full screen "splash" logo and small logos appearing on the main screen during POST can be replaced with custom logos.Ĭhange Logo ChangeLogo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot. ChangeLogo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot. Users can insert and exchange the default command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a customized version of the utility. It generates a helpful summary report of BIOS setup parameters and default values that enhances productivity in testing and manufacturing. The user can then modify the script file and use it as input to change the current NVRAM setup variables. AMI's Aptio firmware offers an easy transition to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface UEFI specification, giving developers all the advantages of UEFI - modularity, portability, C-based coding - while retaining easy-to-use tools that facilitate manufacturing and enhance productivity.
