CPU/Motherboard Burning

[KP]

Custom PC builders often say that their systems are "Fully burned for 48 or 72 hours" before shipping. What does it mean?? If I build a PC, is there a software product that I can use to "burn" my system.

All this means is that the computer is run continuously for 48 to 72 hours to check for any problems. Not that the computer is used during this time, just that it is on.

Hi, everyone! You can use a software called "The Troubleshooter" that will allow to run several diagnostics during 24 or 48 hours. I also recommend "Check it Pro" or any other Benchmark software with "burn" features. Sandrasoft has some diagnostics that will allow you to burn the computer. If you visit the zdnet software may find software very similar and relatively useful.

I use RC5 and Final Reality. Leave final reality going for 24 hours looping, and then leave RC5 going till the person comes to collect their computer. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

That explains my 1000+ blocks this week.

You mean you turn off rc5 when they come to collect? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

You could just buy them a coke or something if they'll continue running the client. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
