[QUOTE="climbguy, post: 1584006, member: 20028"] I would like to run a hardware diagnostics test on an MacBook Pro from early 2011. I think there might be a problem with the memory, but it could be something else. The computer came with 10.6.8, but has since been upgraded to 10.9 I found [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509"]this KB article[/URL] about the Apple Hardware Test. My understanding is I need to go off of the[I] 'Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.5.5 to 10.6.8'[/I] process since that is what came with the computer. The problem is, I don't have the CDs anymore and need to find a way to download the diagnostics. I found a [URL="http://www.info.apple.com/support/aht.html"]link to a page with AHT download files[/URL], but it only lists computers that were from the PowerPC days. Does anyone know where I could download the file or another way to run a hardware diagnostic test? I am more of a Windows guy and wish there was some sort of BIOS option. [/QUOTE]
