SybeTool

Service diagnostics for Windows 10 and 11

All of your service diagnostics in one window.

Instead of ten programs one after another: one file and one button. SybeTool loads the processor, the graphics card and both memories to 100 % at the same time, shows the live temperature and power draw of every component, and saves the results to the USB drive while the test runs. If the laptop dies halfway, the report is still there.

  • No installationone EXE file from a USB drive, no account
  • Everything at once, one buttonCPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM under full load for the time you set
  • Live temperatures and wattshow much power the processor and the card draw every second
  • Results saved as it goesthe report stays on the USB drive even if the computer shuts down
  • Programs in one clickLenovo Vantage, Dell Update, Chrome, VLC from the vendors’ sites
  • Report for the customerPDF and image with the verdict, plus a before/after repair comparison

A road through the program

Four numbers that say what a repair shop gets. Scroll, and the path takes you from the load test to the report.

0

stress-test modules

Processor, graphics card, RAM and the card’s VRAM. Every test computes its result twice and compares. A drop in performance is a warning; data that does not match is an error.

blue-screen codes with their causes

The program reads memory dumps, the event log and Windows reliability history. For every crash it shows the driver at fault when it can be read, and the causes from the most likely one, with instructions on how to confirm it.

Plus 7 crashes without a code: sudden shutdowns, graphics resets, WHEA errors and application crashes.

0

component checks with ranked faults

Quick checks that answer the customer’s usual questions: why the laptop is slow, whether the charger is strong enough, whether the drive is healthy. Every check ends with a list of causes and “how to confirm, what to do”.

  2. Processor throttlinge.g. stuck at 400 MHzNote
  3. Charger and batteryunder load, with health and cyclesOK
  4. Drivespeed, data integrity, surface scanOK

0

EXE file, one report for the customer

No installation, no account, nothing sent anywhere. After the test the program saves the verdict, a PDF, HTML and TXT report and a PNG image to hand to the customer, and for a repair a separate before/after comparison.

Prepare, test, report

That is all it takes per computer. Type the ticket number, choose the duration, press start, collect the verdict.

  1. 1

    Prepare

    The hardware is recognised automatically: model, serial number, processor, card, memory, drives, battery. You type the ticket and choose the duration.

  2. 2

    Test

    Live: temperatures, hotspot, clocks, power draw, fans, a 3D scene and WHEA events from the Windows log. A crash during the test ends up in a recovered report.

  3. 3

    Report

    Verdict, results table, service recommendations you accept with one click, and the technician’s notes. The report is ready to print.

What the tests check

Each module answers one question: does the component compute correctly under full load. A missing reading is never passed off as a result.

CPU

Load
computation on every core, checksums compared with a reference
An error is
a wrong computed result, not a drop in performance
Also measured
throttling, clocks, power draw, cooler thermal resistance in °C/W

GPU

Load
the SybeSphere scene in Direct3D 11, the full-screen 3D City in DirectX 12 with ray tracing, and verified CUDA, DXR and video-decode workloads
An error is
a wrong frame or computed result, a driver reset from the log
Also measured
hotspot, VRAM, clocks, power draw, temperature limit, FPS

RAM

Load
algorithms known from MemTest86: own address, moving inversions, block move, modulo-20, bit fade
An error is
a bit that came back different from what was written; the report shows which bits
Limitation
tested from inside Windows, without physical addresses; we say so plainly

VRAM

Load
patterns written to the card’s memory and checked by the card itself, as in memtest_vulkan
An error is
a word read back differently than written, with the address of the first errors
Also measured
a short retention test and a CPU-side check of every eighth block

Beyond the stress tests

  • Before and after maintenancesame ticket number, the second test is compared with the first; a new fault is never shown as an “improvement”
  • Fans and temperaturesfan speeds from the card, the board and the laptop, a temporary boost and curves for the service
  • Hardware report and BitLocker keysfull specification from SPD, SMART and NVMe; a copy of the recovery keys before a repair
  • Function checkskeyboard with a key map, display, camera, audio, USB ports, Wi-Fi and LAN, Windows Update
  • Driver cleaningremoves graphics and audio drivers completely, with a plan of changes and a confirmation, like DDU
  • LAN stationswatch and start tests on other computers in the shop network from one place
  • Programs and knowledge baseverified vendor installers and an explanation of how to read results and where measurements end

3D City: the graphics card loaded like in a game

New in 0.11.0, selected on the GPU test tab. A full-screen street at night in DirectX 12, built from realistic models of cars, buildings, street lamps and paving. Traffic lights work, cars drive with turning wheels, people cross on green, it rains, and the lights reflect in the puddles. A card with ray tracing traces reflections and shadows with rays. The program loads the card to full power while the processor does very little.

  • Image artefactsa control frame rendered off screen and compared tile by tile; an error only when the difference repeats
  • Verified ray tracinga ray self-test before the start; the report gives the exact reason when RT is off
  • Power and throttlingload up to the power limit; reaching the power limit is information, not a fault
  • Driver reset and WHEAonly a real loss of the card, with the reason from Windows; the program keeps running
SybeTool 0.11.1 — 3D City (DirectX 12 + ray tracing)
SybeTool 3D City: a wet pavement at night in the rain, a street tree, people under umbrellas, parked cars and lit windows.
3D City: a view from above onto a junction in the rain, people at the crossings and cars waiting for green.
3D City: people crossing the zebras on green, the wet asphalt reflecting street lamps and car lights.

Captured on a laptop with Intel Iris Plus graphics at full resolution. That card has no hardware ray tracing, so we verified the rays on the Microsoft WARP renderer.

Proof for the customer

Documents the program produces: the before/after maintenance comparison, the test report in portrait and landscape, and the hardware-and-checks report. These are exactly the files SybeTool saves, generated from demonstration data.

Before/after maintenance comparison from SybeTool: ticket number, before and after periods, a headline of CPU 16 degrees cooler after maintenance, bars of maximum temperatures and a detail table with the cooler thermal resistance.
Before/after maintenance comparison, saved as PDF and PNG.
Customer report from SybeTool in English: ticket number, computer details, OK verdict, temperatures during the test, measurement charts across the whole test and a small note about the tested scope.
Customer report after the test, PDF and PNG.
Hardware and checks report: configuration of the device, processor, memory, graphics cards, drives, battery and displays, warnings about a full drive and a worn battery, the checks performed with verdicts and the stress tests.
Hardware and checks report: full configuration, checks with verdicts, battery runtime, drive speed.
Customer report in landscape: computer details and verdict on the left, temperatures and charts on the right.
The same report in landscape, to print on one A4 page.

The customer report is shown in English; the other documents are shown in Polish. The program writes every document in the language it runs in.
