Overview
Anyone who has used computers for any period of time will understand the importance of having a stable system. The cost of a hardware failure can be enormous. If you are lucky your data will only become inaccessible while faulty components are replaced. If you're unlucky you can lose your files completely or have them permanently corrupted. Even if you have good backups, you can still lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state. In many cases, the lost data can never be replaced and businesses can be brought to their knees, with the loss of documentation, customer details, and financial records.
It will bring intermittent or hidden problems to the surface so that after a successfully run the computer can be used with a much higher level of confidence. It can also be used by overclockers to verify system stability at high clock speeds.
- Assists in PC Troubleshooting and diagnostics.
- Avoid delivering dead on arrival and faulty hardware to your customers.
- Dramatically reduce your test times with simultaneous testing.
- Build your image as a supplier of quality systems.
- Avoid costly downtime, system rebuilds, and lost data.
- Test the stability of a system after configuration changes or hardware upgrades (critical for overclocking and system upgrades).
- The hottest, fastest CPU Burn In tool around!
BurnInTest tests the CPU, hard drives, SSDs, RAM, optical drives (CD, DVD and Blu-ray), sound cards, graphics cards (GPGPU, Video RAM, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and video playback), network ports and printers. The app detects and collects system information and this is displayed in BurnInTest and the test reports. A goal of the program, unlike some other tools, is to include as much useful detailed information as possible, rather than mountains of information that is easy to collect.
The Professional version also has a number of additional tests including microphones, webcams, batteries, tape drives, USB ports (USB 3.0 and 2.0), Serial ports, and Parallel ports (with the use of loop back plugs).
If you have specialized hardware that the app does not test out of the box, you can write your own test and integrate it with the software. For example, PassMark has produced plugin tests for Touchscreens and Keyboards. During testing, Burn In Test will display and log the number of test cycles, operations, and errors for each test; as well as test events, such as critical errors, serious errors, warnings, and information. On completion of testing, It will display a simple PASS or FAIL.
Temperature monitoring during testing can be useful in uncovering temperature-related hardware failures. It provides monitoring, graphical display, and reporting of CPU, GPU and disk drive temperatures. Additionally, the software can raise errors on high-temperature thresholds, and even stop testing if temperatures are too high to protect your hardware.
