System Test

[Rumple]

I just built my system a few weeks ago and it will run fine for days then i start getting random crashes and errors in alot of my programs. Wondering if maybe i have a bad stick of memory or if something else is messed up.....What tools could i download and use and how to i use them? Id like to just run something overnight or something that can test everything and give me some sort of report so i can figure out if i need to just reinstall Vista 64 or if its a hardware issue...

Hi i found Burnin test helpful. you get 30 free trial, it will only test your system for 15 mins at a time untill you buy the full version but it should help you find any problems. hope that helps

Memtest86 is the pretty much universally accepted way to test memory for errors. Just let it run overnight.

also if your running vista it has it's own memory tester built in
