    Not sure if this is the right section but what program can I run on my laptop for a certain amount of time and make sure it's not overheating? I've seen it mentioned before but I can't seem to find it.

    for the CPU:
    - WPrime / Prime 95
    - Orthos
    - LinPack - Intel's own software for test purposes (i.e. might not work with AMD CPUs but beats all for Intel CPU stress purposes)

    for the GPU:
    - Video Card Stability Test - small program for somewhat decent video stress
