I just got a new laptop, delivered today. One big problem; the box was crushed. The monkey men of UPS did their best impression of the old Samsonite commercial and really mashed it.
(NO advice needed on how to proceed with a claim, informing the shipper, documentation for the vendor, damage claim number assignments, photographic evidence, etc.)
I am really concerned that this machine could have been damaged, although it seems to be performing OK. I have a 72 hour window in which the vendor will send out a new one without charging my account as an emergency replacement if I need one.
I am looking for a program like the old "Burn In" and "PC Test" that we used to use that is for Windows 7. Those programs tested all memory sectors, HD sectors, and did hours of read/write exercises, cache filling and dumping and CPU tests. You wound up the programs and let them go, and a few hours later you had your results.
I can't find anything like that for Windows 7, and want to test ALL aspects of this machine within my "emergency replacement" time frame window.
Anyone have any suggestions? A program that you have personal experience with or know someone that has used it successfully?
Thanks -
Robert
