I've basically had to rebuild my computer from scratch yesterday (which I've never done before and never been shown how to do)

Surprisingly, everything seems to be running fine. No crashes, no blue screens, no random power offs.

Except it doesn't seem to like me running Core Temp any more, that crashed it yesterday.

What software is best for testing how stable my system is? It doesn't need to be for testing overclocking stability as I'm not planning to do that at all, unless I am completely certain what I've built is okay.

Also, are there things I should be updating in the BIOS that people who build computers know to do pretty much without thinking that I won't have done. I haven't touched anything in the BIOS so far.
 
If it is working and isn't crashing, then it is stable I guess!

Be happy and joyful that nothing as exploded, gone pop or otherwise stopped working!
 
Prime95 is a very good test, though it can force errors out of a computer that is fine under every other circumstance. It's a very stressful test!
 
yeh...orthos is just prime with an interface added. Just because its working NOW dosnt mean its stable. All it would take is one intensive application and your computer would fail, potentially causing loss of work etc.

Test it for 6hours+ or you'll forever feel unsure about it imo.
 
Prime95 for round-off checking errors on one of my cores,now it doesn't and is completely stable. So like said above, it does force errors and no program would push that.

Also its primarily a CPU test, you haven't touched that i assume so it's OTT.
