Orthos is a great stress tester for both memory and cpu.
Futuremark offer graphics and cpu stress testing and benchmarking.

Rather than spend hours and hours running stress tests, perhaps you could take a short cut and describe what problems the PCs are having. With a sudden high failure rate you might need to take the bigger picture into account. For example, I've had an office full of identical PCs fail within 6 weeks of each other with the same symptoms - turned out to be a faulty capacitor on that type of motherboard.
Just noticed your computer forensics thread knowlesy, I'm starting to get interested in that myself and will be checking out those resources. Looks good.
Have you tried memtest? Good old chkdsk has proved useful on more than one occasion. Also, is there anything in the system logs pointing to anything? What is actually going wrong with the PCs?
