Sometimes, you will forget your PC spec, but how do you know it when you had forgotten? Dxdiag will help you to solve this problem. If you are a gamer, you always need to show your Dxdiag to the technician in the technical support team. Well, how do you get the Dxdiag file? Here is how you can do it :
1. Press 'Start', select 'Run'
2. Type 'dxdiag' and press 'Enter'/ **** 'OK'
3. A new window will pop-up. Its called 'DirectX Diagnostic Tool'.
4. **** on 'Save All Information'. Then, select the place that you want to save your Dxdiag.
Now, you can close your 'DirectX Diagnostic Tool' window. Open up the file that you saved just now. You should see many words inside the file, and example is shown below :

This is just the 'basic' about your PC, if you scroll down and read, you can find many useful informations, such as registry error, driver version, hard disc space, graphic card and sound card brand, version, spec and many other informations.
