This mode runs an unattended series of tests on all the system components as soon as the BIOS clears POST. As the card runs through its tests, if something is missing it will skip the test and note that it skipped the test, so you always have a record of what was tested. If something fails, it's noted under PASS/FAIL and the specific area is noted under SUBTEST RESULTS TABLE. This level of discrimination allows you to zero in what the problem is.

Under this mode, after POST a screen appears which allows the user to select from a variety of options. If nothing is selected, the card goes into Burn-in, which means that the tests will run until manually stopped. You can also set up a test script in which you can select which tests are run and for how long.
