Hardware tester
 

if anyone cares enough to tell me could you suggest a good hardware tester program?thanks.

Sisoft Sandra 2003 Professional for standard hardware testing/benchmarking

3DMark2001 SE /UT2003 time demo for graphics and motherboard chipset benchmarking

Nokia Monitor 1A for monitor testing

yada yada

rest are depending on reviewers

as for CPU stress testing
i would go for CPU BURN 4
utilizes the CPU most, more than prime95

thanks but want i actually wanted was a program that tests to make sure nothing is wrong with my hardware thanks anyways.

if it is working fine, then there is nothing wrong

but it test much more things
