Most HP computers come with factory installed HP UEFI diagnostics.
This default version of the HP UEFI diagnostics should enable end users test the drive and RAM.
On the HP website the HP UEFI diagnostic version can be updated to a version that will test motherboard, video, networking, CPU, etc.
So the available tests will depend upon the available version.
Power on the computer and repetitively click the F2 key.
This should boot to the BIOS UEFI diagnostics.
Run the available tests on each computer.
Use a camera or smartphone camera to take pictures of the results and post them into the thread.
