Pc-Check Diagnostics for AT-Style Personal Computers 4.15.11 Video Memory This option employs exactly the same series of tests described under the “Test Video Memory” option of “Memory Diagnostics”, and indeed automatically diverts to that screen panel. On first-time entry only, the following message is displayed: Your video card’s memory will be tested using the standard Pc-Check memory test algorithms, and hence the same options are available to video memory as to ordinary memory. Pc-Check will now enter the Memory Tests menu where you will find the ‘Test Video Memory’ option. When you leave the Memory Tests menu, you will return here to the Video menu. This message will not appear next time. When the Memory Diagnostics screen appears, use the cursor keys to select “Test Video Memory”. The tests may take several minutes, during which a variety of patterns will occupy the screen. After the tests are complete, the main Memory Diagnostics panel reappears. Pressing <ESC> returns to the Video Diagnostics panel. 4.15.12 Exit Tests Returns to the main Advanced Diagnostics Menu. 4.16 Audio Devices Note: this test may not work with Self-Boot Pc-Check.
