PassMark’s BurnInTest is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously tested for reliability and stability. Having a stable system is essential for users and organizations that rely on computers in their daily operation, as the cost of hardware failures can be enormous. The consequences of failure can be fairly benign, such as your data becoming inaccessible while faulty components are replaced, or it can be fairly damaging, such as the loss or corruption of files. Even if you have good backups, you can still lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state. In many cases the lost data can never be replaced and businesses can be brought to an extremely vulnerable state, with the loss of documentation, customer details and financial records.
