PC Benchmark Test Software and PC Burn-In Software DOS & Windows Description
The Ideal Factory PC Burn-In Stress Test Program - PC Diag Burn-In is a suite of PC test and reporting functions in one self-booting software package intended for PC builders and assembly technicians. Based on a suite of proprietary, high level tests and utilities developed originally for Intel, PC Diag contains technology that has withstood picky field-testing since 1981. It has been massively enhanced over the years to stay abreast of advancing technology. It contains PC Magazine Editor's Choice Award-Winning Info Spotter Discovery Engine technology. PC Diag has helped thousands upon thousands of discriminating PC technicians save time and money troubleshooting system problems and stress-testing systems before delivering them to customers.
System Requirements, Platforms & Licensing
PC-Diag Windows: This version is compatible with the
following operating systems Windows 2000, 2000 Pro, XP, Windows 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008. It is recommended to have at least 20MB

PC
Diag DOS self-booting hardware diagnostics software: In DOS mode it runs
on all standard PC-type systems running in 640K on IBM-standard
PC, XT, AT, PS/2, EISA, PCI, VLB, 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro,
Pentium II, Pentium
III, Pentium IV, AMD K5/K6/K7/Athlon, Cyrix 5x86/6x86/MediaGX,
Winchip, and clones
under DOS 3.0+, including Windows 3.1, 95, 98, and ME. Self-boots and
runs on systems
that have UNIX, LINUX, OS/2, Windows NT/2000/XP loaded (but does not
run under those
operating systems.
No matter what operating system is installed on your PC (Windows,
Linux, DOS), simply boot up from our specially configured floppy
drive's, CDROMS or USB drives, and run complex tests on your hardware.
A
PC-Diag single
user license can be utilized to troubleshoot multiple computer systems
for
suspected hardware failure. Our software does not necessarily reside
on the hard
drive of any one system as does most software that will not allow you
to move
the license or run it on additional PC's. A PC-Diag license
can be moved from one system to another, test one PC or multiple PC's
there is
no limit as long as it is done one PC at a time per authorized
license. EXCEPTION: Enterprise licenses fall under different
guidelines.
Burn-In Features
- Complete Computer Diagnostics (single-test and batch mode) for PC Manufacturers
and assembly technicians - Excellent for factory stress-testing before shipping
computers to customer
- Provides System Configuration information identifies installed hardware. Excellent
for Repair and Warranty Records. Fabulous for proving what is inside the system
without having to remove the cover
- Test all major standard IBM-compatible PC/AT components: CPU (including multiple
CPUs), Motherboard, Memory, Disk Drives, CD ROM Drives, Sound, Video, Serial/Parallel/USB
Ports, Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick and more. Tests are grouped by device. You may run them
in multiple passes or for specific time periods and log summary or full results
to printer or file. Excellent for field engineers, bench technicians, and factory
burn-in testing. Proven diagnostics give you confidence your system is functioning
properly.
- Benchmark Tests of CPU, Math, Video, Hard Drive, and CD ROM, runs in continuous
loops to show you how the system is performing, and allow you to detect performance
bottlenecks in the system.
- Utilities let you verify hard drive formatting and basic integrity, and exercise
remote or local serial devices.
- Comprehensive Context-Sensitive Help, Coaches, Repair Tips, and manual built-in
to help you find what you need to know when you need it by pressing one or two keys.
Keeps you oriented, effective without searching for a manual.
- Provides solid reliability to reduce warranty costs by burning in (stress-testing)
systems so they fail in the factory, not at the customer location.

Batch Mode Testing
PC Diag Burn In allows you to test the computer by test groups
Test groups include Motherboard, Memory, Video, Fixed Disk, CD, Floppy Disk, Video,
Serial, Parallel, USB, Mouse, Joystick, and Keyboard.
You may run any group or individually selected tests in a group in single or multiple
passes for either an amount of time per test, amount of time for the group, or number
of passes for each test. Test time can be up to 100 hours (four days plus four hours).
You may also select Batch Mode testing and save the test parameters and save up to (10 Predefined batch tests in a batch mode
file). Batch mode testing is also called "burn-in" testing because it runs continuously
for a long time and heats up the circuitry. Batch mode tests can simulate a month
of normal operation in just a few hours of intensive exercising.
When creating a batch mode file, you can select any test in any group, select which
devices are tested (e.g., which hard drives if you have multiple drives), select
the amount of time or passes for the tests, elect to exit the program and return
to the operating system when testing is done (so as to run other functions in AUTOEXEC.BAT,
for example), and elect the destination of the test log (full log or just summary,
to go to printer or file).
An important feature for systems builders who burn in a lot of systems at once is
the dynamic test result display. The software can be set to halt on a failure or
run continuously. If a failure does not lock up the system, then the monitor, if
attached, will display a large, red FAIL message. This will alert a technician across the room that a failure has occurred.
Batch Mode testing is a very powerful way to burn-in test a system after repair
or before shipping a new system to a customer, for it provokes any imminent "infant
mortality" failures while in the shop, rather than in the customer's home or office,
and it thereby reduces warranty costs for both the customer and PC technician or
builder.
Full Logging of Configuration and Test Results - PC Diag provides thorough log
features to record your test results and configuration information. View results of batch test on your screen, print out your results, or save your results to a USB Flash Drive. Elect to log only
the testing summary showing number of passes and number of failures for each test,
or each iteration of each test in a batch mode burn-in test sequence, plus the summary.
Because you can log configuration information, you have a handy record to use to
verify the customer's system if it is returned for service.
