PassMark BurnInTest Pro 5.3 Build 1026 is a Diagnostic Software product from passmark.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, PassMark BurnInTest Pro is a utility tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability.
The user can select the hardware components to test and individually adjust the load placed on each one via slide bars. Each test reports results to its own window and results are summarised along with any errors
detected in the main software window. CPU, hard drives, CD ROM, CD burner
, DVD, sound card, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, memory, network connection, serial ports, parallel port, USB 1.x and 2.0 ports, tape drive, video playback and printer can all be tested at the same time.
PassMark BurnInTest Pro is a utility that tests your system and generates reports.
Results can be saved to disk, printed or exported as a graphical image. Other features include periodic logging, a temperature monitoring interface, timed test runs, the display of system information such as the CPU serial number, CPU speed and L2 cache size.
PassMark BurnInTest Pro is also available with serial, parallel and USB loopback plugs and has comprehensive on line help. There are also the more advanced features of EMC testing to ANSI C63.4-1992, RAM testing to 64GB and cyclic rebooting. Societies reliance on computers means that the cost of hardware failure can be enormous.
PassMark BurnInTest Pro thoroughly exercises PC hardware in the shortest period of time so intermittent or hidden problems are found before they turn into a disaster. BurnInTest is conformable to computer enthusiasts, hardware manufacturers, systems integrators and overclockers who want to cost impactfully evaluate their systems.
PassMark BurnInTest Pro can do:
* Assists in PC Troubleshooting and diagnostics.
* The best value professional burn-in tool on the market!
* Avoid delivering D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival) hardware to your customers.
* Dramatically reduce your burn in times with multi-threaded simultaneous testing of components.
* 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).
What BurnInTest does is thoroughly exercise the hardware in a PC 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 PC is put into service, as the failure of a computer that isn't being used for a critical software and doesn't have any critical data is much less damaging, (especially if it is still under warranty).
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.
BurnInTest tests the CPU via mathematical operations and SIMD calculations, hard drives, RAM, CD-ROMs, CD burners, DVDs, sound cards, 2D graphics, 3D graphic, network connection, printers, video playback. If you have specialized hardware that BurnInTest does not test, you can even write your own test and integrate it with BurnInTest. PassMark has produced plugin tests for Keyboards, Dial up Modems and FireWire ports. This can all be done simultaneously as the software is multi-threaded. The Professional version also has a number of additional features such as tape drive testing, USB port testing, USB 2.0 port testing, Serial and parallel port testing with the use of loop back plugs.
