QuickTech
is a powerful diagnostic product that allows users
to quickly and accurately troubleshoot failures
in a PCs major components including: Base
and Extended RAM, External Cache RAM, Hard, EIDE
CD ROMs and Floppy Drives, Video Card and Monitor,
Serial and Parallel ports (with loop backs), Keyboard,
and even the systems printer.
One
of QuickTech's many advantages is that its
self-booting. You simply insert the QuickTech diskette
and turn on the computer. The program loads itself
before any operating system (e.g., DOS, OS/2, 95,
98 etc.) is loaded. Thus, QuickTechs tests
are conducted without the interference of an operating
system or any other programs (TSRs) that may be
loaded into memory during the boot sequence (such
as expanded/extended memory device drives, network
drivers, various operating system commands, etc.).
A
new feature allows the program to run in automatic
burn-in mode. In this mode, the user selects the
tests to run and the duration (either number of
hours or loops). This information may be saved as
a script which can be executed at a later time without
a keystroke. On power up, if a script is available,
the program will automatically run the script without
user input.
Improved
features include, all new memory test algorithms
that allow for data to be written to memory in multiple
patterns. This feature is extremely effective at
detecting memory failures that cause Windows to
generate GPF's. Also extensive testing for CPU,
NPU, System Controllers, Video Adapter and EIDE
CD ROM (CD ROM test does not require a device driver).
QuickTech
offers users the capability of running professional
level diagnostic utility from easy to use drop down
menus. Each of QuickTechs tests is designed
to perform the highest level of diagnostic tests
available.
QuickTech
is designed to test all functional areas of any IBM-compatible
PC equipped with 386, through Pentium III/AMD K7's/Cyrix
and MMX Technology.
Product
Features:
- Technician
Level Diagnostics - Easy to use tests offer
the same hardware level analysis
that service technicians use to evaluate computer
failures and perform routine maintenance on system
components.
- Operating
System and TSR Independent
-
Self-booting program loads from a floppy drive
before the operating system (DOS,WINDOWS 95/3.1,
NT, NOVELL OS/2, UNIX etc...)or any other programs
(TSRs Device Drivers) are loaded into memory during
boot.
- System
Configuration Information - On screen details about
a systems configuration including CPU, math coprocessor,
video, parallel, and serial ports, floppy drive
and hard drive specifications, and much more...
- RTC/CMOS
RAM Tests - Performs a memory
data and address test
on the systems Real-Time Clock/CMOS RAM; plus
tests all CMOS functions and Interrupt generation.
- Base
and Extended RAM Tests - Tests base RAM
up to 640kb and extended RAM from
one megabyte to one gigabyte using up to 16 multiple
pattern testing algorithms.
- External
Cache RAM Tests - Performs cache
detection , sizing and
a low-level memory data and address
test on the systems external
cache.
- Hard
Drive Tests - Provides a series of non-destructive
tests including controller,seek, and read tests
to check a drive's overall condition. All
drive types are tested
including MFM, RLL, IDE and SCSI drives.
- Floppy
Drive Tests - Provides a series of tests
to verify a system's floppy drives
are functioning properly including read and write
tests, rotation speed test, and a floppy
drive head cleaning function.
- CD-ROMs
- Complete testing and benchmarking
of EIDE CD-ROMs. Direct testing without the need
for drivers etc.
- Video
Tests - Tests various color and
alignment attributes of a SVGA /EGA video
card, color monitor, plus tests
graphics and text modes
supported by a VESA-compliant video card.
- Parallel
and Serial Port Tests - Performs internal
and external loop-back tests
on active LPT and COM ports.
- Printer
Test -
Tests one or more printers connected
to the system under test at the
active LPT ports.
- I/O
Port Monitor - Byte-level display
utility that provides quick address identification
for all active ports. Helps troubleshoot address
conflicts and locate unused addresses
when installing option cards.
