BurnInTest Professional 6.0 build 1011

BurnInTest Professional 6.0 build 1011 is a useful tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability.

BurnInTest can thoroughly exercise PC hardware in the shortest period of time so intermittent or hidden problems are found before they turn into a disaster.

BurnInTest is an easy-to-use software tool that simultaneously exercises all of the major components of a computer to test for endurance and reliability. The user can select 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 program window.

A computer's major components (including CPUs, raw and formatted hard drives, tape/CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drives, sound and graphics cards, RAM, network connections and ports) can be tested at the same time. Results can be saved to disk, printed or exported as a graphical image. Other features include periodic logging, a temperature monitoring interface and max CPU temperature test, and timed test runs.

Major Features:

1. Online help & PDF manual.
2. A customer style results certificate.
3. Support for printing results.
4. Logging of results to disk in user selectable levels of detail (in ASCII format & HTML formats)
5. Timed test runs that will stop automatically at the expiry of the selected time or after a number of test cycles.
6. The ability to save your results to disk as log file.
7. 'Notes' and 'Machine ID' fields for storing your own audit information along with the saved log file.
8. Support for copying the results to other applications (eg. MS-Word) via a variety of image formats. (BMP, GIF, EMF)
9. The ability to select the level of load placed on each component, via the setting of a duty cycle for each test.
10. Counters that count the total number of operations performed.
11. An easy to use point and click interface.
12. Can be run from a USB drive or CD (under Windows)
13. Summary system information including CPU type, CPU speed & Serial number.
14. Temperature monitoring and temperature monitoring interface (with additional 3rd party Intel Active Monitor, HMonitor, MotherBoardMonitor and SpeedFan software)
15. Laptop battery & UPS monitoring interface (with additional BatteryMon software)
16. Support for production line automation and detailed logging.
