You will not get any display if the cpu or ram is bad.
The diagnostic partition is for testing that.
You can also make a diagnostic flash drive preferably 2 gigs or less fat16 flash drive.
Drivers and Downloads
After executing the diagnostic package which was downloaded from the Dell
support website, the DDDP application will start automatically after all
files are extracted to the location you specify. You can restart the
distribution package by running "DDDP.exe" from the folder location you
specified when the download package originally ran.
When the application starts, a dialog box is displayed where you can
choose the media type to be created. Supported media types include: USB
flash drives, diskettes (Server versions only), CDs, and a bootable
hard-drive or diskette image that can be used as a Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE) boot image or for remote booting via a Dell Remote
Access (DRAC) card for servers. In addition, the diagnostic partition on
the system (if it exists) may be updated from DDDP. Details for each media
type are presented in the sections that follow. Note that in order to boot
the media you create, you may need to change the boot sequence for your
computer so that the media type you create is first in the boot sequence.
See the User Guide for your system for more information on changing the
boot sequence.
