PC Benchmark Test Software and PC Burn-In Software DOS & Windows Description
The Ideal Factory PC Burn-In Stress Test Program - PC Diag / PC Certify 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
The PC Diag Diagnostic Software in Windows Mode is compatible with the following systems Windows 2000, 2000 Pro, XP, Windows 2003 and Vista. It is recommended to have at least 20MB free space on your hard drive and 64MB of memory.
In DOS Mode it runs on all standard PC-type systems regardless of hardware configuration, from the oldest systems based on processors like Intel 386/486 to the latest ones like Intel Dual Core Duo and AMD Opteron/Athlon FX2. 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.

Professional 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.
An optional set of loop back plugs for performing "External" serial and parallel port testing are available for a minimal fee upon request.

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 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. Log to the printer
directly, to a disk file of choice,USB Drive, or just to internal memory. 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.
