How to Use MiTeC System Information X to Diagnose PC Issues

Run as administrator for full hardware details

• Right-click the executable and choose “Run as administrator” to let the tool read protected system sections (firmware, some registry keys, device details) that standard user mode may hide.

Use the export feature to save snapshots

• Export system snapshots (XML/HTML) before and after changes to compare configs, drivers, or installed updates without re-scanning manually.

Enable and examine sensor readings

• Turn on any available sensor monitoring to view temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds; check trends by exporting sensor logs to spot intermittent thermal or power issues.

Filter and customize displayed categories

• Collapse unused sections and configure which categories show by default so scans focus on relevant areas (e.g., motherboard, storage, network) and reduce noise.

Compare two reports to spot changes quickly

• Open two exported reports side-by-side (or use the built-in compare if available) to identify driver/version, device, or config differences after updates or troubleshooting.

Check digital signatures and driver providers

• Inspect driver file details and digital signatures to detect unsigned or third-party drivers that might cause instability or security concerns.

Save portable copies for offline use and support

• Keep a portable copy on a USB stick along with exported reports; when helping others or working on machines without internet, you can run scans and share concise exported files with support staff.
