Userdiag diagnosis

Test your graphics card and its temperature with a PC diagnostic​​

This step involves checking the entirety of your system to see whether there are any problems, in particular with the blue screen.

You will need to search Userdiag on your search engine and download it. 

UserDiag is a diagnostic tool that allows you to retrieve your computer’s hardware characteristics, while running different tests to ensure that your components are functioning properly.

How does it work?

Just run it, choose one of the three profiles, and UserDiag will take care of the rest!

The information about your BIOS, Windows, and the computer components will then be retrieved.

During detection and stress testing of your components, UserDiag will retrieve several values, such as temperature, CPU frequencies, RAM, and the graphics card. This will allow you to check that everything is working optimally.

Finally, at the end of the test, UserDiag will open your diagnosis in your browser. All you’ll need to do is check that everything is perfect!
