3. System Image Recovery
A system image is an exact copy of a drive. When you restore your computer from a system image, it’s a complete restoration—you can’t choose individual items to restore, and all of your current programs, system settings, and files are replaced with the contents of the system image.
4. Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
If Windows detects possible problems with your computer’s memory, it will prompt you to run the Memory Diagnostics Tool. It generally works in Windows 7. So, it just scans your memory for errors and helps you diagnose the memory problems.
5. Command Prompt
