Software Tools
Like hardware tools, there are a variety of software tools that can be used to
help technicians pinpoint and troubleshoot problems. Many of these tools are free and
several come with the Windows operating system.
Software tools help diagnose computer and network problems and determine
which computer device is not functioning correctly. A technician must be able to use
a range of software tools to diagnose problems, maintain hardware, and protect the
data stored on a computer.
You must be able to identify which software to use in different situations. Disk
management tools help detect and correct disk errors, prepare a disk for data
storage, and remove unwanted files.
Format: Prepares a hard drive to store information.
ScanDisk or CHKDSK: Checks the integrity of files and folders on a hard drive by
scanning the file system. These tools might also check the disk surface for physical
errors.
Defragmentation: Optimizes space on a hard drive to allow faster access to
programs and data.
Disk Cleanup: Clears space on a hard drive by searching for files that can be safely
deleted.
System File Checker (SFC): A command-line tool that scans the operating system
critical files and replaces files that are corrupted.

You don't need to check if the keys work to test your computer keyboard. If you open a
word processor and type a few lines, you don't really learn anything. Even if all the keys are
working properly, there may be an unclear problem with the keyboard device driver. To
successfully test your computer keyboard, you must test it with the Hardware Management
Utility in Microsoft Windows Device Manager.

The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD) contains the operating system
that is installed on your computer and once it gets some problems, you whole machine may
hang and freeze often or even fail in the long run. It is therefore important to make your
HDD/SSD in 100% health always.
Checking for HDD/SSD health is important especially if you are planning to
purchase a used computer since you don`t really know the current condition of the drive
itself. You can find plenty of tools that can be used to test the Hard Disk Drive or
SolidState Drive in your computer and if you have an SSD installed, you can use SSDLife
to check your SolidState Drive`s health.

The CPU and GPU are two very important hardware components on any computer and
are involved in data, commands, and all other major processing in between. Thanks to these
two hardware components, you can use Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, Excel and even open
your favorite browser. You need to make sure that these two hardware components are
working properly, as they can also be used to play games. You can use Furmark to test them.
If you're trying to test a low-end PC that doesn't have a dedicated GPU that
supports high resolutions, you should choose 1280 x 720. If you're testing a medium to
high-end PC with a GPU / graphics card, choose a resolution from 1280 x 720 to 1920 x
1080 Full HD graphics resolutions. If the screen flickers or distorts during the test, it
indicates a problem with the GPU.
