Guys , I have a question I have skills in computers and networking. I wanted to say that but by no means am I a know it all. I have purchased 5 Asus laptops and all have failed over the video issue. I see now that it supposedly has been fixed. Crossed fingers. I have falshed the vbios per instructions and the bios to 211.
All is well but it has been like 3 hours thats it no games installed I wanted to stress the daylights out of this system. Can some or everyone reccomend a way to do so with links or instructions to your suggestions. I am a student with a hardship grant for college and I purchased this laptop or school. I cant afford anything else to fail. Please help.
Is there a bench mark program that is designed to stress test for stability or is that how they even work?
I saw somewhere on here that you can do that stress program and it will simulate a hard gaming experience true? Please guide me asap. I want to stress before my return date is up. Thanks in advance for your help.

OCCT is very stressful. Unless you are sure your system is stable and just want to verify, probably don't run this. This is one of the most intense stress test available.

FurMark is probably the most widely known for just stressing your GPU.

And then for benchmarking that will stress your GPU but also a standardized benchmark to measure performance. Can download the free version, same test, just results shown in a web browser.
DX10: Futuremark - Benchmarks - 3DMark Vantage - Introduction
For DX11, Heaven 2.1 seems to be good. For reference this is primarily a Nvidia benchmark. The emphasis on tessellation with extreme setting, not much else. Nvidia did buy license for Heaven benchmark, hasn't been verified their changes, optimizations weren't back ported to Heaven benchmark, but the changes to 2.0-2.1 would suggest that.

I am using Furmark right now, and fps is awfulllllllll it is 13 fps horrrrrrid. What can I do.

If you want FPS, play a game and see what others are getting. Or use Vantage benchmark. -
Furmark is used to send your GPU to hell and see if it survives.
In other words, stress test it and see how well the cooling of the machine holds up with 100% load. FPS doesn't really matter in this "benchmark".
Anything under 90C is fine. Though, I prefer to be safe and am not happy with anything over 80C.
OCCT - Should be under 80C. If it's above 80C, you should try repasting.
Futuremark - Should expect a 10kish CPU score and 7.6kish score for GPU. -
I was just saying for the test on furmark it was only getting 13 fps. It has been running for 9 hours so far and no problems. I would say the by flashing the vbios and being in 211 system bios I fixed the GSOD of many colors it seems. Do you
agree?
BTW where can I se the test results at where are they located? -
