    What's the best freeware burn in software available?
    I've been using Sandra for a long while but the latest version was acting
    strangely for me. Is this still the choice software to burn in new systems?

    I'd like to use it for a v5000z


    Regards,

    Mike

    There is some pretty good burn-in stuff on the Ultimate Boot CD. Google it for the latest version.

    RAM Burn-in = Memtest86+
    CPU Burn-in = Prime95

    The Ultimate Boot CD has Memtest86+ and a CPU burn in program as well. I use it most of the time. A few other programs of note is:

    Particle Fury, to really heat up the CPU and give those fans a workout.
    Battery Eater, for testing runtime of your battery.
    SpeedFan, to monitor the temperatures of your vital components.

    One of thos programs should be able to do what you need.
