Favorite diagnostic software
I have used various types of diagnostic software in the past, and I cannot say that I am pleased with the results of any of them.
I have a computer that appears to have bad video memory right now... I figured this would be a great time to find a program that can actually confirm this. I've run sandra burn in test, pass mark, and a free video memory tester and nothing has caught it.
I want basically a one click AIO solution that is fairly accurate and tests all hardware. I don't really need to confirm that my VC is bad, I basically want something more accurate for the future. For example, I sold around 200 laptops last year and I like to run diagnostics on them prior to sale. I don't have time to sit with each computer and play a game, or generally screw with it in order to find the problems manually. For this same reason, I like AIO solutions. My issue is that if my current tests cannot find an obviously faulty VC, what else are they missing?
Thinking about it, the only diagnostic program I have been satisfied with is dells onboard diagnostics. It generally gives you a great run down over everything... it catches things that you don't normally even consider...
Anyone use something like I am describing that is generally successful in discovering faulty hardware?
