    What software to use for stress/burn-in testing?

    What software do you guys use for burn-in and stress testing? Just want to make sure my CPU and RAM are working OK. I run Windows, BTW.

      I like to use memtest (a few passes) and then load up windows, make sure it's stable, and run the distributed.net client for awhile to pull some juice. The problem with memtest is that it doesn't stress the CPU much, so it doesn't stress the power requirements of the board.

        Here's Prime95 running alongside ATI Tray Tools. Tray Tools is nice because you can volages, temps, fans etc while stress testing. It's very customisable and can save a log file as well.

          I just use MBM5 to keep track of my voltages while testing... Does tray tools only work if you have an ATI card in your system?

            Yes, just ATI and W2K or newer only. It's main function is a replacement to the Catalyst Control Panel. The monitor function is just 1 of many extras that come with the program. Very nice program

                Copy DMI info easily with Hex editing software and Macro script
                by SMDFlea
                Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

                Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

                Backup To OneDrive Software? Everything! Best Software?
                by NeedsPractice
                I contacted Microsoft and they said they do not have software to where you could backup all your files to one drive. I mean you can copy some of your files to your one drive folder and back stuff up. However, it does not do this automatically.

                I have around (10) hard drives I want to backup to the cloud with One Drive. What is the best software to do this with?

                AOMEI Backupper
                I Drive
                Easeus

                I do not want a Cloud Plan. I just need the software to take my DATA and Transfer it to the cloud in a nice, readable, viewable fashion. I wish...

                JVC LT-55C870(B) Corrupt Software??
                by Russ17
                Hi,

                I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
                If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

                Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

                Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

                If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
                ...

                by sam_sam_sam
                I use to have a way to test hard drives on old computer system but with the newer computer system this is all most impossible to do anymore

                What do you use any more

                Because most of them any more want to used while you are boot up to windows operating system this not what I am looking for I am looking for is a complete running on DOS environment I have found this type of software for me works the best ( I could be wrong with this idea and if I am please correct my way of thinking please post website links for better testing software that is FREE )

                Because...
