    Hardware Test
    « on: July 03, 2008, 11:59:58 AM »
    I was wondering if anyone on here knows where you can download a free Hardware test program that will run in DOS and be bootable from a cd? You know for testing for example if your ram has any errors or problems or any other hardware for that matter.

        That's awesome! Now is there one for the rest of the hardware components?

            Hard drives: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

            I'm not aware of any diagnostic tools for the other components. It doesn't mean, they don't exist.

            Dunno about this, don't know why.   Not run any of the processor, motherboard or video card tests.

            Good luck
