Stress testing a new PC under tcl?
« on: November 27, 2010, 08:11:26 AM »
I have a new media centre PC but it is crashing at random. I am beginning to place the hardware under suspicion and I need a stress test to test it severely.

Anything that I might do while booted from tcl?

stress.tcz seems aimed at this. Compiling gcc & running the tests is also rather good.

Though, random crashes sound more like memory or power issues than cpu ones, so a night of memtest86+ would be good too.

memtest86+ is preferably run as a bootable standalone version, rather than on top of an OS
