    Hey guys after all suggestions I bought,

    GIGABYTE P57Xv6-NE2 @ ~$1300 along with free Gigabyte Headset + Watchdogs2 title
    • GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB
    • Intel Core i7 6700HQ (2.60 GHz)
    • 16x1 GB Memory + 1 TB HDD + 128 GB SSD (M.2 SATA)
    • 17.3" Full HD IPS 1920 x 1080
    • 6 Cell battery and 6.61 lbs.
    • DVD Super Multi (changeable slot to M.2)
    • Total capacity: 2 Memory slots @2400 MHz (Max 32 GB)

    As I have bought this laptop in USA and will be bought to India after 1 month. I want to check the laptop for any defects and get them solved in US itself before I get that in India. So how do I test the laptop for any defects in in its Hardware such as,
    • CPU/GPU
    • Dead screen pixels
    • Keyboard
    • Battery
    • Speakers etc.,

    I know about CPUID for getting hardware info and also know about some Load/Stress/Benchmarking software.
    Kindly suggest me(I am also googling stuff), just want to know from the experts.


    Which software should I use for stress test and what are the maximum allowable temperatures for CPU and GPU of this laptop ?

    Please direct me towards any place where these things are explained

    CPU:- OCCT Stress test
    GPU:- Play any demanding game or benchmark.
    Dead Pixels:- Load a solid color image (for example white) and inspect physically.
    Battery:- Use the laptop unplugged, it should last at least four hours with light load like browsing, don't judge the battery until you at least twice drain it and recharge.
    Keyboard and Speakers:- Seriously?
