Thought I'd create a thread for diagnosis tools, I know of a few but could do with others
Ram testing - Memtest64+
Usually comes with other tools nowadays such as
Dr Cureit Live CD (comes with memtst64+)
Useful for fixing not boot machines due to viruses
ATITool is useful for seeing if graphics cards are to blame as it stresses it
OCCT is a useful all round stress tool from CPU to PSU
I could do with a HDD diagnosis tho?
Most drive manufacturers offer their own tools, Sam.
The latest Hiren's disc.
:iagree:
Invaluable tool, has pretty much everything that you might need on it :)
I think the multiboot usb from pendrivelinux (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/) is the new kid on the block, not only does it have all the current set of tools to hand , it is very simple to add others later
It's a brilliant piece of kit.
SIW is usefull for getting information about a machine: http://www.gtopala.com/
Prime95 (http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103) is regularly touted as the defacto stress testing tool.
ProcessExplorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx) is what Task Manager should be.
