I need a testing well rather benchmarking program that'll do everything and for free ? just need to stress test kit to test what's failing basically ?
 
i know 3dmark 06 etc but i want that encompasses everything hdd cpu and memory gpu is the least thing as its only basic workstations im testing, before itd be one or two a week now its getting silly so just to speed things up thats all :)
 
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?
