    let's light this candle …literally


    hey guys I'm trying to make a client computer overheat -- she keeps saying that it's shutting down and I don't see many thermal events in the event log, plus I cannot seem to recreate the problem (happens most when she plays wow...and just refuse to do that, even as a test!)...anywho--do any of you out there have or know of a program that will just basically work the CPU and GPU over until they overheat? It's ben running fine (and cool) for 2 hours now...

    AIDA64's System Stability Test will stress the CPU, cache, RAM, system drives, and GPU's. If there is a problem, that stress test will find it
