Bootable USB for Stress Testing

Not sure where to post this, but is there a program/OS out there that would allow me to put it on a USB, boot from it, and then run basic stress testing/temperature monitoring programs? I seem to buy some random pieces secondhand and just want to make sure everything is alright without screwing up my main systems or bothering with a full windows install. I saw Stresslinux, but it mentions that users should be familiar with Linux console, which I am not (never used Linux).

Would it be easier to do a slipstreamed install of XP with the programs already on there? I haven't messed with that either, but if its the easiest/best way, I can always learn. And I'm not sure if its possible, but I would like something that I didn't have to install all of the drivers to use. Thanks.

Well I dunno about bootable USB software to hardcore testing, but what i can tell you is that Windows XP can't boot from a USB, because when WinXP starts loading, the USB ports are reinitialized so no WinXP.
