PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of
a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and
stability.
- Assists in PC Troubleshooting and diagnostics.
- Avoid delivering dead on arrival and faulty hardware to your customers.
- Dramatically reduce your test times with simultaneous testing.
- Build your image as a supplier of quality systems.
- Avoid costly downtime, system rebuilds and lost data.
- Test the stability of a system after configuration changes or hardware
upgrades (critical for overclocking and system upgrades).
- The hottest, fastest CPU Burn In tool around! (Heat
testing)
The best value professional Windows hardware test tool on the market!
Anyone who has used computers for any period of time will understand the
importance of having a stable system. The cost of a hardware failure can be
enormous. If you are lucky your data will only become inaccessible while faulty
components are replaced. If you're unlucky you can lose your files completely or
have them permanently corrupted. Even if you have good backups, you can still
lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state. In many cases the lost
data can never be replaced and
businesses can be brought to their knees, with the loss of documentation,
customer details and financial records.
BurnInTest will bring
intermittent or hidden problems to the surface so
that after a successfully run the computer can be used with a much higher level
of confidence. BurnInTest can also be used by overclockers to verify system
stability at high clock speeds.
Testing for hardware problems
Just press the start button and have BurnInTest test your system
hardware.
BurnInTest thoroughly exercises the hardware in Windows based servers, desktops,
laptops and tablets* in a short period of time, in the same way as normal
applications use a PC over a long period of time. This takes advantage of the
fact that computer hardware tends to fail either very early in its life or after
many thousands of hours of use. Typically BurnInTest should be used before a
system is put into service or after a system upgrade.

BurnInTest tests the CPU, hard
drives, SSDs, RAM, optical
drives (CD, DVD and
Blu-ray),sound cards, graphics
cards (GPGPU, Video RAM, 2D
graphics, 3D graphics and video playback), network
ports and printers.
The Professional version also has a number of additional tests including microphones,webcams, battery's, tape
drives, USB ports (USB
3.0 and 2.0), Serial ports and Parallelports (with
the use of loop back plugs).
If you have specialized
hardware that BurnInTest
does not test out of the box, you can write your own test and integrate it with
BurnInTest. For example, PassMark has produced plugin tests for Touchscreens and
Keyboards*.
This can all be done simultaneously as the application is multithreaded, making BurnInTest
the fastest test around.
SySystem information
BurnInTest detects and collects system information and this is displayed in
BurnInTest and the test reports. A goal of BurnInTest, unlike some other tools,
is to include as much useful detailed information as possible, rather than
mountains of information that is easy to collect.
BurnInTest includes a System Summary, for example:
System summary
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 build 7601 (64-bit), |
1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz [2006.9 MHz], |
7.9GB RAM, |
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000, AMD Radeon HD 6790, |
932GB HDD, 112GB SSD, |
CD-RW/DVDRW, |
This is followed by more detailed information about the System Motherboard,
BIOS, CPU, memory, graphics, disk drives, optical drives, network ports and USB
ports.
Test results and reporting
During testing BurnInTest will display and log the number of test cycles,
operations and errors for each test; as well as test events, such as critical
errors, serious errors, warnings and information. On completion of testing,
BurnInTest will display a simple
PASS or FAIL.
BurnInTest can produce a number of reports for a test run, including a text
report, HTML report,
a customer focused test
certificateand a statistics
report. These tests may include summarized information. Very detailed debug
logging is also possible.
These reports are saved to disk and can be printed after testing. Test results
can also be stored in a centralized
database*.
Information about your current testing can also be included in these reports,
such as your Customer's name, the testers name, machine type and serial number.
Support is provided for copying the system information and results to other
applications (e.g. email or MS-Word) via a variety of formats (text, HTML and a
number of image formats).
A customer results certificate is customizable for your companies design style.
An example is shown below:
Temperature reporting
Temperature monitoring during testing can be useful in uncovering temperature
related hardware failures. BurnInTest provides monitoring, graphical display and
reporting of CPU, GPU and disk drive temperatures*. Additionally, BurnInTest can
raise errors on high temperature thresholds, and even stop testing if
temperatures are too high to protect your hardware.
BurnInTest can also be used with additional 3rd party temperature monitoring
tools: Intel
Active Monitor, HMonitor, MotherBoardMonitor and SpeedFan software.
