A system and method for enhanced fault detection of a component includes executing a component health assessment of a plurality of components of a computing node based on identifying the computing node as having an unhealthy state of health, wherein executing the component health assessment of the plurality of components includes: identifying a healthy computing node having a healthy state of health; establishing a plurality of distinct pairs of components, each distinct pair of components of the plurality of distinct pairs of components includes one component of the computing node and one component of the healthy computing node; and executing bi-directional testing by each of the plurality of distinct pairs of components; evaluating health assessment data generated based on the execution of the bi-directional testing; and classifying as faulty components of the plurality of components of the computing node based on the evaluation of the health assessment data.
