HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU)
HP BCU is a free utility that captures the BIOS settings and their values. This tool provides a text file of the
computer's BIOS configuration. This can help identify any settings that may be contributing to an issue.
In some cases, it may help to compare this BIOS text file to the default settings of the computer.
For more information, see the
BIOS_Configuration_Utility_User_Guide.pdf.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you reset BIOS before trying BCU. Resetting the BIOS is always available and
relatively quick to try, whereas BCU takes extra time and effort.
HP Image Diagnostic Tool
Available to HP Authorized Support Partners (ASPs) and users from the
ImageDiags/, this tool collects information about the current state of the computer, including product serial
number, platform and BIOS information, and information about user-installed software and hardware
components. HP encourages you to review the report before sending it to support. The report may assist you
with diagnostics and solutions to problems you encounter.
HP Thermal Monitor
NOTE:
Available only to authorized service providers/technicians.
Available only for HP internal use, HP Thermal Monitor can be used to stress the processor and GPU and
monitor the temperature values of various components in the system. The components that are currently
monitored include the processor, GPU, ACPI thermal zones, hard drive, and battery. The tool reads the
temperatures of the components, logs the data, and helps to determine whether the computer would
overheat in the event of thermal shutdown, fan spinning loud, etc.
