In the constantly evolving "troubleshooting" flowchart I have in my brain but have never tried writing down, there is an early decision box on the hardware path: "Does it work in Linux?". Undoubtedly picked up on these very pages. We have USB keys and CDs of Mint & Parted Magic that we use for this task. We also use PC-Doctor diagnostics on every machine that crosses our bench, which is Linux-based.
The key to getting better at this stuff is streamlining your processes as much as possible because less time = more profit. I hate it when it takes me 4 hours to find an answer that should have taken me 20 minutes because I went so far down the wrong path. Each of those experiences is a learning opportunity, of course.
