Best way to "Burn in" new build.

[masterofzion]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

I haven't built a new machine in years - but I finally did yesterday. I got a Cure2Duo E8400, I got an EVGA Geforce 960, I got the Asus P5N-T Deluxe, 4 GB of Corsair memory, and a Segate Barracuda 1TB Drive with Windows Vista Ultimate.

My problem is this. I usually (back when I did this years ago ran 3dMark (or FutureMark as it is now known.) But I cannot do this now apparently because I am using my Olevia HD TV as my monitor and the trial version does not support my resolution. I am wondering what the best way for me to make sure the system is stable is.

Obviously I am building this thing for gaming - but I decided to go with a single card for now instead of SLI. I'll probably go SLI eventually.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Memtest86+ on a CD for memory, OCCT or Prime95 for CPU, and Furmark for graphics card. You can download the seagate tools off their website for checking the drive.

Orthos Blend test for CPU/RAM, overnight. Should not generate any errors. Check temps while you're at it.
