Good Hardware Diagnostics Tool

Post by undrt0w »

When I purchased my comp late October, I had problems with installing Windows and when I took it back to the shop they told me it had a faulty ram so they replaced it, I was good to go. All good, until I started getting the blue screen of death from time to time. This got me worried, and I would like to run some diagnostics and see whether this is caused by a hardware problem (or if you have any other ideas what it might be). I was wondering if the PSU could handle everything, so I don't know if that can cause blue screens. Its only 600W.

Please share any good tools out there that I could use or any ideas what could be the problem.

You can use this to find out what was on the BSOD

This site might be flagged, that is because there are some Windows Password cracking/testing tools on it.

Don't use the PSU test, it can make your PSU blow up...

What's your specs and what model is the PSU?
