In the system diagnostics menu, the user is provided with several standard programs through which he can test certain system components. Such utilities allow you to diagnose and then fix problems in time. The user can test either the software for errors or the hardware installed on the computer. If a malfunction is detected in the equipment, then a corresponding message will appear, with the help of which the user can send a message about the malfunction of the components.
In the system configuration menu, you can change many startup settings, language, and boot sequence. In this menu, you can: configure the BIOS display language, enable or disable hardware boot options, change their boot order (it is recommended to designate the hard disk as the very first boot option).
