PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows all the major
sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance,
reliability and stability.
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! (Heat testing)
The best value professional Windows hardware test tool on the market!
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.
BurnInTest 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. BurnInTest can also be used by overclockers to verify
system stability at high clock speeds.
Testing for hardware problems
Just press the start button and have BurnInTest test your system
hardware.
BurnInTest thoroughly exercises the hardware in Windows based servers,
desktops, laptops and tablets* in a short period of time, in the same way as
normal applications use a PC over a long period of time. This takes advantage
of the fact that computer hardware tends to fail either very early in its life
or after many thousands of hours of use. Typically BurnInTest should be used
before a system is put into service or after a system upgrade.

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 Professional version also has a number of additional tests
including microphones, webcams, battery's, 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 BurnInTest does not test out of
the box, you can write your own test and integrate it with BurnInTest. For
example, PassMark has produced plugin tests for Touchscreens and Keyboards*.
This can all be done
simultaneously as the application is multithreaded, making BurnInTest the
fastest test around.
System information
BurnInTest detects and collects system information and this is
displayed in BurnInTest and the test reports. A goal of BurnInTest, unlike some
other tools, is to include as much useful detailed information as possible,
rather than mountains of information that is easy to collect.
BurnInTest includes a System Summary, for example:
System summary
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 build 7601 (64-bit),
1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz [2006.9 MHz],
7.9GB RAM,
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000, AMD Radeon HD 6790,
932GB HDD, 112GB SSD,
CD-RW/DVDRW,
This is followed by more detailed information about the System
Motherboard, BIOS, CPU, memory, graphics, disk drives, optical drives, network
ports and USB ports.
Test results and reporting
During testing BurnInTest 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, BurnInTest will display a simple PASS or FAIL.
BurnInTest can produce a number of reports for a test run, including a
text report, HTML report, a customer focused test certificate and a statistics
report. These tests may include summarized information. Very detailed debug
logging is also possible. These reports are saved to disk and can be printed
after testing. Test results can also be stored in a centralized database*.
Information about your current testing can also be included in these
reports, such as your Customer's name, the testers name, machine type and
serial number.
Support is provided for copying the system information and results to
other applications (e.g. email or MS-Word) via a variety of formats (text, HTML
and a number of image formats).
A customer results certificate is customizable for your companies
design style. An example is shown below:

Temperature reporting
Temperature monitoring during testing can be useful in uncovering
temperature related hardware failures. BurnInTest provides monitoring,
graphical display and reporting of CPU, GPU and disk drive temperatures*.
Additionally, BurnInTest can raise errors on high temperature thresholds, and
even stop testing if temperatures are too high to protect your hardware.
BurnInTest can also be used with additional 3rd party temperature
monitoring tools: Intel Active Monitor, HMonitor, MotherBoardMonitor and
SpeedFan software.
