Resolve Hardware Issues Using ePSA or PSA Diagnostics and Guide to Error Codes


This article provides information on how to start and run the Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment (ePSA) Diagnostics, and the definitions of any test results. In other words, it takes you through your PC’s built-in diagnostics and what the error codes mean.

1. What are the PSA diagnostics?

Dell has built a suite of self-diagnostics into their mobile and desktop PCs. These are the Dell Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA) Diagnostics. If you can't boot your PC or complete POST, these self-diagnostics are the first thing you should try to run. Any error codes provided by these tests can go a long way toward troubleshooting your issue.

  • If they don't run at all, then there is something wrong with your hardware at a basic level.
  • If they give an error code, then it narrows down where the fault may lie for further hardware troubleshooting.
  • If they pass, then your hardware is fine and you need to troubleshoot your software next.

The PSA diagnostics have a text-based interface, while the ePSA (previously PSA+) diagnostics may have either a text-based interface or a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Note: Notebooks may have either PSA or ePSA diagnostics, depending on their age. Desktops will have the desktop version of the ePSA diagnostics.

The tests are very comprehensive. The ePSA suite of tests has all the tests included in the older PSA suite, as well as added support for:

  • MpMemory algorithms included.
  • Machine Check exception on.
  • System board diagnostics consolidated into one heading.

You can then use the results to determine if any hardware failure has occurred or pinpoint any failure points.

Based on what happens, the information below will assist you in troubleshooting the fault and working toward a resolution to your system problems.

Note: When you call in or report an error code online, you may be asked for the validation or status code, in addition to the actual error code. These codes are on the same line as the error code; which one you see depends on the diagnostics that are being run. Dell needs these codes in order to confirm you have a genuine error.

DST, PSA and ePSA diagnostics work on hard drives encrypted with Full Drive Encryption (FDE), without the need for a password. These diagnostics can also be performed on drives encrypted with Bitlocker.

While it is true that the data on an encrypted drive is inaccessible, the diagnostic can access areas on the hard drive to test and store results.

If you receive errors while running the DST, PSA or ePSA diagnostic tests, please visit our ePSA online tool. You can get more information on possible resolutions to your issue and even get a part dispatched if needed.

  1. Tap the F12 key at the Dell splash screen on start-up.

  2. Choose Diagnostics from the menu.

Note: The diagnostics on notebook systems are not meant to be run when the system is docked or the notebook is in a closed position. Doing this may result in a false error being reported.
  1. Perform one of the following button combinations during startup:
    • Hold in the Fn key and the power button.
    • Press the mute button while powering on (for E-series notebooks only).
    • Tap the F12 key at the Dell splash screen.
  2. Choose Diagnostics from the menu.
Note: If you see a 2000-0326 and 2000-0415 error, but the notebook’s LCD screen is working fine, then update your BIOS to the latest version for your system and re-run the diagnostics.

The pen can function at either the default calibration or at a custom-set calibration. It is recommended that you use the pen online while it is calibrated to your custom settings. Calibration optimizes pen performance for each user.

  1. Power on the system and immediately press the Volume Up button before the Dell Logo Splash screen is displayed. This will access the Boot Menu.
  2. Either touch Diagnostics onscreen, or press the Volume Up button to move the pointer to Diagnostics.
  3. Press the Volume Down button to confirm your selection and start the ePSA utility.

For 11G and newer systems:

  1. Either tap the F10 key to enter the lifecycle controller, or tap F11 to enter the boot manager.
  2. Choose Diagnostics from the Menu.

For 10G and older systems:

  1. Tap the F10 key to launch the Utility Mode (diags) option.

If you can boot your PC into Windows and connect to the internet, you can also run the PSA diagnostics from the Dell Support Site.

  1. Go to the Dell Support Site.
  2. Enter your Service Tag or Express Service Code Number.
  3. Navigate to the Diagnostics category.
  4. Run the Quick test. This may take 10-15 minutes depending on the hardware in your system.

For further information on running the online diagnostics, please refer to the article How to use the Dell Online Diagnostic Tool to troubleshoot your Dell PC.

Already have an error code from running the ePSA diagnostics?

If you have already run the ePSA diagnostics and noted the error and validation codes, then you can log a service call using the Enhanced Preboot System Assessment. You will need to enter the error and validation codes as seen on-screen, as well as the service tag of the faulty computer. Simply follow the prompts to complete the process.

What do the code results mean?

Notes:
  • One of the most common tasks requested when troubleshooting a system is to update the system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) also called the system setup.
    It is strongly suggested that the BIOS be updated to the most current version available before running diagnostics. For more information refer to Dell Knowledge base article What is BIOS and How to Download and Install the latest BIOS?

  • Portable system batteries basic warranty expires 12 months from the date the system was invoiced from Dell. Unless the system has an extended battery warranty or the battery is a GREEN Labeled 3 year battery, battery failures outside the 1st year of use is not covered by the system warranty.

  • The last three digits in the code are called the beep code. These beeps occur when the system is unable to display a message. For example, 2000-0141 has a beep code of 141 which may be manifest by: 1 beep – pause - 4 beeps – pause - 1 beep. In this case, the beeps are trying to inform the operator that the hard drive has not been detected.

  • When you run the diagnostics and receive a error code, and you require further assistance, please visit our ePSA online tool.

Dell's Interactive Search Agent (English Only) can provide you with information regarding your specific error code, without having to search the table below.
You may need to provide information on what version of Diagnostics your computer has installed to get the correct results. To find out what version of diagnostics your computer has, look at the top of the screen. If it shows "Pre Boot System Assessment" select PSA or PSA+. If it shows "ePSA Pre Boot System Assessment", select ePSA.
