I recently had a bit of bad luck with an order and would like to know what tools folks use for testing and ensuring the hardware is ok?
Preferably I would like Linux tool, but if no option for a component is available, I boot into Windows 7 to solve that.
Memory - I use memtest here - run it overnight
Harddrive - I use smartmon tool to run SMARTD tests and hdparm for speed
Motherboard - ???
GFX - ???
Sound - ???
My google-fu fails me - might because I am tired - so I thought I throw the question out here.
