Following on from my other thread....
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=266846&f=95&h=0

How can I check the integrity of my motherboard?

My PC keeps crashing and I'm not sure why. Anyone got any recommendations for good (free) soak testing software so I can find out what's causing the crashes? CPU fans checked, running at 4200rpm. CPU temp s typically 40-45, tops out at 52 or so. Crashes whether it's under load or just sat idling.

cpuburn, superpi for stressing the cpu. memtest86 for the ram. Something like 3dmark would do an all over test also involving the gfx card.

Any others please? 3d mark is a 580mb download!
