We are a PC repair facility and are currently in the market for some really good hardware testing software.
It needs to work from all versions of Windows to XP and also off of a boot CD in DOS mode. We’d also like to be able to run a stress test for a certain amount of time. The purpose is, after building a new system, we want the software to beat the heck out of the system and show any weaknesses, basically, make the system crash or freeze. Then be able to tell us why it crashed or froze, wasit memory, video, motherboard? etc…)
Price isn’t really an issue although we would like to have a trial period before purchasing.
My question to all of you is, have you had any experience with any software like this? Can you trust the tests tobe accurate? And is the software self contained so that we can make copies or run multiple copies without haveing to install anything to a customer’s system.
Just some info on a good place to go, or a good place to start research would be nice. Or if anybody has an exact item to reasearch on would be nice, thanks a lot!
