    Hi all, A work colleague has asked me if I know of any software that would help him check if any component on his PC is broken or not working fine... I own a Lenovo and therefore I use the "Lenovo System Health" to do those checks. Do you know of any free and working software that could help him knowing if something is going wrong? Thank you all. :thumbsup:

        Some tools: Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool[^]: For RAM but runs for long time and might therefore also fail upon other hardware defects. H2testw | heise Download[^] (German link but the software allows selection of English language): Test utility for drives (hard disks, USB drives/sticks, memory cards). For hard disks search the web for SMART utilities (e.g. HDD Health). GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility[^]: GPU info and test utility. Don't forget the BIOS. The health page provides information on voltages, temperatures, and fan speed. You can also enable SMART failure detection (HDD SMART data are checked upon boot).

              Memtest86 for ram, and prime95 in stress testing mode for Ram+Cpu+Cooling. A SMART code reader can see some indications of an HDD/SDD approaching failure; but a lot of failure modes for both are sudden death.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                  I use HWMonitor, mostly to view temps. When they start getting over 175F, like they are now, it's time for a good cleaning. :)
