    Hi guys,

    does anyone know some diagnosis programmes to check your hardware? I already have memtest.
    I especially need it for my RAM, CPU & Mobo.

    Btw, is it normal that memtest only runs 1h?

    Thanks.

    What kind og test you want to do, just to indentify the different elements or to stress them to check their performances?

    Try any one of the h/w monitoring ut's listed under "Resource Monitors" in the System Tools part of the Best Free Software for Windows thread that's stickied to the top of this very forum.
