Test your motherboard and keep your computer running smoothly.
Your motherboard is the heart of your computer. It relays all the signals among other computer components. Without a motherboard, your computer is essentially useless. Testing your motherboard early can help you diagnose any problems it's having before they're too severe to fix. It can also help you figure out why your computer is being buggy, if you're having system problems. User-friendly programs are available to help you test your motherboard and determine which repairs are necessary.
Instructions
1. Select a program to help you test your motherboard. Free programs are available, but other options that cost money offer more choices and more control over your test. Decide which one is right for you by considering your budget and reading about what each program offers. Even a free program can help you get a basic idea of how your motherboard is functioning.
2. Log on to the website of the program you've decided to use, then download the program. You may have to pay a fee if you've selected a commercial program.
3. Install the program once the file has downloaded, then open the program.
4. Select the correct options to test the motherboard. The way you run the diagnostic scan will vary depending on the program you've selected, but there should be a "Help" function if you're having trouble running the motherboard test. Most programs are very user-friendly, and you'll be able to run the motherboard scan with no problem.
