Looking for a good diagnostic application

I'm having a hard time with my laptop lately. It was working great, but now it's starting to act sluggish even after a format. Someone suggested to me that something in it might be fried, but everything seems to work, it detects everything and I ran a chipset application from Intel which didn't come up with anything bad.

Anyone have a program or something I could run to make sure every part of the laptop is running at 100%?

Thanks.
 
What laptop do you have? Some of the Dell laptops for example come with their own diagnostic software that's on a CD. Did you check any of the CD's that came with it and see if there's anything like that on them?
 
Win Doctor in Norton System Works works well for me. I've also heard good things about Registry Mechanic.
 
I have a Dell Inspiron 9100, I will definitely check tonight if there is something there.
Norton System Works is not an application I have, but I will look into it.

It's just confusing, I don't quite see where the problem could be, but from what I can see, its as if the cpu or ram is not performing well.
 
Don't buy norton, it's worse than most viruses.

To test memory use memtest86, this will inform you of any errors, but won't test for speed. To check the memory bandwidth and processor speed, run a few benchmarks like SuperPI and compare to other systems like yours. SiS sandra has good benchmarks for hard disk and network speed as well as processor and memory, so that might be useful too.
