Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Accessible and effective hardware diagnostic tools? (Linux/Windows)
I just installed and ran CrystalDiskInfo and found it to be screen reader accessible. It reads the SMART data from your hard drive or SSD and reports any drive errors - see my output below.
It's available at https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/

With a note of appreciation to those on the list who helped, I think my laptop's stability has now improved. I installed Lenovo's System Update utility, which updated various drivers as well as the UEFI and Intel Management Engine firmware on the machine.
The stability issues haven't recurred in the subsequent week.
