DETAIL

"Taken as a whole, this is a powerful PC diagnostics software tool. I would have no problem with recommending it to any technical support
person or hardware hobbyist... No one tool is perfect, but as diagnostic software goes, this ranks near the top of the heap. "

tedious, time consuming and not really user friendly."
