    Get Hirens Boot CD Link not provided as it may be illegal.
    Burn it to a cd or dvd-r
    Reboot your system and boot from cd/dvd drive.
    once booted select hirens boot cd.
    once you have that you will get a menu .

    Go to Menu 5 (Testing Tools) --> Menu 1 (RAM) ---> Memtest+
    This will test your system memory , and will take about +/-45min.
    When pass OKE reboot when error you will see red lines.


    SOME SMALL INFO PC-Check 6.05 is a old version it can have some problems with some systems !! hirens provides more testing tools then listed.
    Again Back to hirens menu
    Go to Menu 5 (Testing Tools) --> PC-Check 6.05 Wait a min for loading.
    Once loaded --> Immediate Burnin Testing --> Select Tests
    Select this :
    -prossesor, can be two
    - motherboard (Aspire one --> Disable dma Controller !!!!)
    - all hdd (SMART EXTENDED,Mech-stress,internal Cache ONLY !!!!!!!!!)
    - Stress Test - Make sure to have a clear cd/dvd in you driver for optical test
    ( IF you get a failure here, do a tress test in windows !!!! like 3dmark and pcmark)

    when all selected press ESC and go to perform and wait. +/- 90min

    All this will test your system exept for 3D , use ati tool for 3D scan.

    NEW When you think your harddisk is failing do a smart test dont know for sure but its menu 8 - 3 its called harddisk sentinel. ( works best in ide mode ahci is suported but some times it will not work )
    If you hdd is below 96% make a backup and Buy a new one NOW !! ( if you can that is :D )
    96-98 you have to test when thinking about hdd
    99 - 100 , umm nothing wrong here ( But not guaranteed !!! )
    test thakes about 10 sec -
    Feedback , please.
