hardware tests

[ColdCrow]

Is there any programs that I can run to test hardware? I build a lot of Sun servers at work and I test them with a program "teraterm" to test hardware. Any reliable programs for PCs?

You can test your cpu and memory with a program called "Orthos". This basically pushes your cpu and memory to their limits, then reports errors when you stop it.

As for video, not really. I've had issues with systems before that I would run benchmarks continuously without problem, then crash shortly after I switch apps. It's to random with video.
