To form a complete and functional computer, it takes a combination of many components.
That is why, in my opinion, all components are equally important, none more than the other, and just one of them has an error, it can cause the operating system on the computer to fail, the machine not working properly or even unusable.
But in this article I will talk about the central processor or chip (CPU) – the component is considered the brain of a computer. You can learn more about CPU in the article: Find out more about CPU Core i3, i5, i7 … of Intel
With such importance, after a long time of working with your machine, you should also take steps to check the current state of the CPU, if there are any errors or not.
Currently there are many tools to help you check the health of the hardware on your computer, but why do we have to go with 3rd software while that Intel Already have their application software?
And in this article, I will show you how to check the health of the CPU with Intel’s official tool!

CPU is a very important component on a computer, a strong or weak computer will depend a lot on this component. That is why it is also one of the most expensive components in a computer.
CPU is also a fairly buffering component in the computer, very rarely the computer crashes but the error is caused by this component.
But after all, it is also an electronic component, not an iron or a stone, so it can be completely damaged as usual. So you should check the CPU health more often to take measures to fix, handle or replace the work without interruption.
True to its name, Processor Diagnostic Tool is a tool that allows you to check and diagnose CPU health.

+ Step 4: The test is going quite quickly, it takes 3-4 minutes to get the results. If all results are Pass same word PASS Large green background is used in the box Test Summary HAPPY!
Your CPU has passed all the tests and is working completely fine. But if it does Fail In which case, you should go to Google or Groups, the technology forum ask how to do it!
Besides the main function is to check the health of the CPU, you can also use the Processor Diagnostic Tool to see it in the tab System Info About system information such as:

Besides, tab CPU Features will be the place to show all the Intel features that the CPU you are using support or not, also quite convenient for you.
# 3. Epilogue
So I have just detailed instructions for you how to check CPU health using the official tools from Intel.
