    I'm trying to run PCMark05 on my 6860 and my laptop keeps failing. Is this bad or is there another app I can use to test and see if my laptop is working fine?

    your post give no data at all
    stress first cpu then ram then hdd then 3d
    monitor temps all the way
    find what part fails then you can go on to finding a way to fix it.

    failure at 3dmark is like saying my car wont drive whats wrong ?

    just trying to be helpful here, ask anything.
