ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment detect an error, disable selected functions of a computer system via inhibit switches in response to the error, issue a set of diagnostic instructions to a processor, and incrementally enable the selected functions until the error is reproduced. In this way, the source of the error may be determined.
