[RESOLVED] What Computer Burning Software Do People Use?

plantboydude · March 23rd, 2001, 12:17 PM

Hello everybody,
Just wondering what my fellow Computer Technicians (Techies) use to test customer computers before shipping (e.g. Burn It Test)?
Can you recommend any.
Thanks
Ben

WEll I'm not a tech.. (sys admin)

part of my work is to test for systems integration (software and hardware)

I get the machines already built and abuse them

if they passed they are considered..

from what I know my supplier is using AMIdiag to run a burn in test (sampled) not all machines.. and a once over test for any machine.

If you are talking about Burn-IN test then I would have to say that sisoft sandra is your best bet, and its free! http://www.hotfiles.com look for sandra

Nero is good software for burning cd's but not really great in the area of burin in testing pc's LOL.

Nero 5.3 is cool, but I prefer Adaptec's Easy CD creator.

I can see why some of you thought that this post was concerning CD Burning apps, but read the initial post again. He was refering to computer burn-in sotware. I use PassMark's BurnIn Test, which protechpc provided a link for.

I though this was going the wrong way

We currently use two types of software. Our fav' is 'BurnInTest' (Original eh!) by Passmark

It has an excellent interface and also tests network connections.

The other we used for ages was BCM Diagnostics, which again was excellent but our current version wont run on W2K, the later version does but the FREE upgrades are only available for a year from registration. We decided to carry on with BurnInTest as it had a few more features.

Hope this helps

Love the new interface

Martin

I use BCM Diagnotics to test all the new systems we build. Then I turn my 6 year old loose on em for an hour or so.........hehe. If they hold up under that strain, their bullet-proof.

Right you are Darren...I replied to this post by the topic...not the replies...and the topic asks for Burning suggestions...NOT"Burn-In" software!!!!!
