整机检测
整机检测软件可以对电脑整机进行综合性能测试,检测各种硬件设备的协调与兼容性。你可以使用整机检测软件全面检测自己的电脑,以便更加了解各个硬件设备的信息,或者将检测结果与其他电脑的检测结果相比较,客观评估其性能的高低,甚至还能够帮助你找出性能的瓶颈所在,为你在更新换代时确定目标。

Everest
检测每一硬件信息、测试主要硬件性能

Everest(http://www.lavalys.com/)也就是老牌的硬件检测软件AIDA32,该软件经过多年的不断改良,目前各项检测功能都非常出色,深受资深电脑玩家的喜爱。软件主要分为Corporate、Ultimate两种版本,两者相比,Ultimate的功能较强,它比Corporate多出了CPU温度、主板温度、风扇转速、电源输出状态的实时监视功能及内存、硬盘等主要设备的性能检测功能。
下载安装并运行Everest Ultimate版之后,带有硬件状况实时监视功能的Everest将出现在系统状态栏上,以图标方式显示CPU温度、主板温度、风扇转速、电源输出状态。随即软件打开进入主界面,在主界面左侧是当前系统中各种硬件种类的导航目录树,右侧则显示左侧选中的硬件种类对应的信息。你可以通过左侧的目录树仔细查阅电脑上所有硬件设备的信息,或者在目录树的最下方选择“性能”,然后选择要检测的项目,测试当前系统CPU、内存、硬盘等主要设备的性能与稳定性。可以说,如果你从头自尾查阅一遍Everest检测到的硬件信息,并执行所有的性能测试选项,你将发现自己从来没有比现在更了解自己的电脑。

SiSoftware Sandra
检测每一硬件信息、测试对比硬件性能

SiSoftware Sandra(http://www.sisoftware.net/)是一款久负盛名的硬件检测软件,软件目前划分为Lite、Professional、Engineer、Enterprise等4种版本,其中所提供的功能依上面的顺序从弱到强。但必须声明的是,功能较强的软件,只是额外提供了对64位操作系统的支持和网络检测等功能。与一般的硬件检测软件不同,SiSoftware Sandra除了详细检测和提供系统中各种硬件设备的信息以外,更着重于检测和对比评价硬件设备的性能,并为用户优化系统提供意见。
由于该软件在国内极受欢迎,所以目前可以搜索下载到用户汉化的中文版本。下载运行软件后进入主界面。在主界面中首先是一系列向导的启动图标,通过这些向导你可以检测系统中的所有硬件设备,从而获得当前系统的综合性能评价,也可以选择“性能调整向导”让软件检测系统,指出系统的不足或瓶颈所在并提供优化意见。如果需要单独检测某一硬件设备的信息,则可以在向导的下方“信息模块”中选择要检测的硬件。紧接着“信息模块”之后的是“对比模块”和“测试模块”,希望检测自己的硬件设备并评估其性能的高低就靠它们了。

PCMark
检测系统整体性能

PCMark(http://www.futuremark.com/)是著名显示卡检测软件3DMark同一公司的产品,软件的风格与检测方式也如出一辙。PCMark主要用于检测系统整体性能,并通过软件给出的综合评价分值评估系统的性能。软件的使用很简单,下载安装并运行PCMark之后,单击“Tests”部分的“Select”按钮,选择要检测的项目,选择之后回到主界面,单击“Run PCMark”按钮开始检测,软件将自动按选择的项目逐一完成检测,检测完毕后给出综合评价得分,并且在主界面上为CPU、硬盘等主要的硬件设备打一个小分,以便你可以了解是否有某一主要硬件拉低了总分。
另外,如果你希望与其他人的检测结果相比较,可以选择将检测结果上传到软件厂商的网站存储起来,存储的数据可以与其他已经在网站上存储的数据相比较,也可以用于你下次检测时进行比较。

CPU检测
CPU检测软件是各种硬件检测软件中用户使用最多的但也是最简单的硬件检测软件,通常用于购机时或购机后检测CPU参数、验证CPU是否被超频,或者在使用的过程中突然需要了解自己的CPU是否支持某一技术标准时也可以发挥它的作用。下面我们将简单地为你介绍两款目前国内用户使用最频繁的此类软件。

Intel Processor Identification Utility
检测英特尔CPU

使用英特尔CPU的用户最信任的CPU检测软件自然是Intel Processor Identification Utility(http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/sb/CS-014921.htm),该软件由英特尔官方发布,可检测英特尔CPU的频率及其他技术参数,能发现被超频的CPU。

AMD CPUInfo
检测AMD CPU

和英特尔的CPU检测软件相同,AMD官方发布的CPU检测软件AMD CPUInfo(http://www.amd.com.cn/CHCN/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html)能够提供最准确的AMD CPU信息。而且检测结果中除了CPU的各项设计指标以外,还包括Hyper Transport连接的频率和带宽以及系统平台的各项相关参数,希望对自己的CPU有更清晰了解的AMD用户不可不选择该软件。

CPU-Z
检测CPU参数

CPU-Z(http://www.cpuid.org/)是一款家喻户晓的CPU检测软件,在国内非常受欢迎,更有用户将其汉化为中文版本。CPU-Z支持的CPU类型全面,并且软件无需安装,启动即可检测,检测速度快并且返回的检测信息准确丰富,CPU名称、厂商、时钟频率、核心电压、超频检测、CPU所支持的多媒体指令集等均不在话下,而且新版本除了可以检测CPU之外,还提供了主板、内存等检测功能。

稳定性检测
购买了新的电脑或对系统进行了超频之后,准备“烤机”以测试系统的稳定性吗?下面我们要介绍的稳定性检测软件可以帮上你的忙,让你的电脑系统高负荷运作,测试系统的稳定性。其中,除了有可以测试CPU稳定性的检测软件之外,还有可以全面检测系统上各种零配件的“烤机”专用软件。

Super PI
检测CPU稳定性

Super PI(http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36)是一款专用于检测CPU稳定性的软件,软件通过计算圆周率让CPU高负荷运作,以达到考验CPU计算能力与稳定性的作用。该软件的使用很简单,下载运行后,单击软件主界面“计算”菜单,软件将弹出对话框让你选择要计算的圆周率位数,计算的位数越多,检测时间越长,对CPU的考验也越大。通常一般情况下可以选择100万位的运算,如果要求较高则可以选择200万位的运算。如果CPU能够在最高的3200万位的检测中通过,则该CPU将能够在非常苛刻的环境下稳定运行。

Prime95和Stress Prime 2004
检测CPU、内存稳定性

Stress Prime 2004(http://sp2004.fre3.com/)和Prime95(http://www.mersenne.org/)是国内用户常用于测试系统稳定性的检测软件,其中Stress Prime 2004(简称SP2004)是基于Prime95发展而来的,两个软件操作界面不同,相比之下,SP2004的操作界面比Prime95的操作界面易用性更好,但测试的原理以及检测结果基本相同。
使用Stress Prime 2004,你可以根据自己的需要,从“测试”下拉菜单中选择测试的方式,然后通过“优先权”下拉菜单设定软件测试时的优先级别,然后单击“开始”按钮即可开始检测。
请注意,要真正达到检测系统稳定性的目的,软件需要比较长的时间进行检测,所以最好是选择一个长时间不使用电脑的时段。SP2004和Prime95的检测都非常苛刻,如果你的新电脑或者超频后的CPU能够经过SP2004的考验,系统的稳定性就大可放心了。

PassMark BurnInTest
全面检测电脑的稳定性

PassMark BurnInTest(http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm)是一款专用于“烤机”的软件。下载运行该软件,在软件主界面上单击选择“Configuration”菜单中的“Test preferences”,在各个选项卡上逐一设置要检测哪些设备,如果选择检测软盘、光驱等设备,则需要预先插入软盘、光盘。准备好之后,在软件主界面上单击工具栏上绿色的开始按钮,软件将弹出9个窗口,分别检测CPU、硬盘、声卡、显卡、内存和网卡等主要硬件,甚至还能够检测诸如USB端口、打印机、磁带机、并口、串口等其他周边设备的状态。因而,如果你对系统的稳定性有所怀疑,希望找出最薄弱的环节,则该软件就能够帮助你找出症结之所在。

内存检测
什么时候我们需要检测内存呢?除了在购买内存条,特别是二手货时,我们需要对内存进行仔细的检测之外,在系统崩溃而内存可能是引起故障的原因时,我们也要对内存特别加以检测。下面将为你介绍国内用户常用的几款内存检测软件,其中除了DocMemory之外,其他3款软件的名称都非常相似,但运行环境、运行方法却有很大差异,其中Memtest可以运行于Windows操作系统,但由于在Windows操作系统中检测内存容易受到各种应用软件的干扰,所检测出来的结果准确性不如Memtest86和Memtest86+,但Memtest86和Memtest86+需要另外制作启动软盘或光盘来使用,操作起来又不如Memtest方便,你可以根据自己的需要进行选择。

Memtest86和Memtest86+
创建启动软盘、光盘检测内存

Memtest86(http://www.memtest86.com/)和Memtest86+(http://www.memtest.org/)这两款内存检测软件是最受欢迎的内存检测软件,其中Memtest86+从Memtest86发展而来,因而这两个软件功能等各方面都非常相似,但Memtest86+的更新速度较快。使用这两个软件检测内存,需要制作启动盘用于启动电脑,然后再进行内存检测。你可以直接在其网站上选择下载ISO镜像版本,刻录成启动光盘,或者下载软盘版本,然后使用软盘版本中的安装文件制作启动软盘。另外,Memtest86+还提供了为USB闪存盘而设的启动版本。
制作启动盘之后使用其启动电脑,软件将显示当前系统的CPU型号、频率、缓存以及系统物理内存容量与速度。接着软件开始自动检测内存,并且是无限循环的测试,一直到你手动停止测试为止。默认设置下软件将使用标准测试方式,通常测试一次需要1小时左右,完全测试方式则需要好几个小时,因而,建议选择较长时间不使用电脑的时候进行检测,给软件充分的时间进行测试,力求检测结果更准确。如果需要使用完全测试方式,你可以按下键盘上的“C”键,然后通过设置菜单选择“All Test”完全测试模式即可。

DocMemory
创建启动软盘检测内存

DocMemory(http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp)是一个在国内外都有一定名气的内存检测软件。使用该软件需要制作一张启动盘,然后用该启动盘启动电脑进行检测,启动后即可检测内存。软件提供10种内存检测,包括Mats、Marchb、Marchc及Checkerboard等,能够检测出95%以上内存故障。也同时可以检测出内存的大小、速度、数量及CPU类型等信息。

Memtest
在Windows中检测内存

Memtest(http://hcidesign.com/memtest/)是少数可以在Windows操作系统中运行的内存检测软件之一。该软件使用非常简单,并且在国内还可以搜索下载到用户自行汉化的中文版本。要使用Memtest检测内存,为了尽可能地提高检测结果的准确性,我们建议你在准备长时间不使用电脑时进行检测,检测时先关闭系统中使用的应用程序,然后再运行软件并在主界面上单击“开始测试”,给软件尽可能多的时间检测内存,找出可能存在的故障。当Memtest发现问题时将自动停止运行,报告发现的错误。

显示卡检测
显示卡检测软件可能是硬件检测软件中最受欢迎的,但由于3DMark在显示卡检测领域中已经成了一支独秀,使之基本上成了评估显示卡品质的标准,所以其他有效的检测手段,要么需要昂贵的硬件检测设备,要么只能够通过游戏进行测试。因而,在此我们可以介绍的内容反倒不多,下面只准备为你介绍一下最新版本的3DMark 2006。

3DMark
检测显示卡

显示卡检测软件中3DMark(http://www.futuremark.com/)的地位是无可替代的,除了在媒体、网站、论坛社区中讨论显示卡时,基本上都以其检测的得分为评估显示卡品质的标准之外,设计显示卡的厂商也同样如此。2006年3DMark推出了2006版本,该版本依然分为免费版、付费的高级家用版、商业版3种版本,其中免费版的各项检测功能被限制在2个,高级家用版可以进行所有检测并且配备图表制作等工具,商业版则比高级家用版多了批处理检测与循环演示功能。
安装3DMark之后,软件将检测系统中是否已经安装了DirectX 9,2006版本主要使用最新一代游戏技术检测DirectX 9级别的显示卡,因而,如果你的系统中没有安装DirectX 9,将需要马上进行安装。然后进入3DMark主界面,主界面基本上与2005等版本相似,通过主界面下方的按钮,你可以设置各项检测的内容,简单地单击“Run 3DMark”可以马上开始检测。检测完毕之后软件将弹出一个对话框显示检测之后对当前显示卡的总评分,并在主界面右侧分别对电脑的CPU等相关设备给予单独的评分。随后如果需要,你可以将得分上传至3DMark网站上,利用网站的比较功能,与其他用户的得分相比较,了解自己当前使用的系统与显示卡大概在什么级别,以及尝试从中找出影响显示卡性能的瓶颈。

硬盘检测
此处我们要介绍的是检测硬盘的硬件检测软件,当然,也就不是检查硬盘是否有文件分配错误等逻辑错误的检测,而是以检测硬盘上硬件方面的信息为主的检测。在这方面各种品牌的硬盘大多有一些官方的软件可供选择,例如Hitachi(日立)的Drive Fitness Test(http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm)、Seagate(希捷)的SeaTools Disc Diagnostic(http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/asp/tools/zh/)、Maxtor(迈拓)的Power Diagnostic(http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/downloads/powermax.htm)、Western Digital(西部数据)的WD Data Lifeguard Tools(http://support.wdc.com/download/),但通常它们大多只可以用于检测所属品牌的硬盘。而下面将为你介绍的一些免费的小软件,它们能够在任何硬盘上使用,甚至还支持移动硬盘。

HD Tune
检测硬盘速度、存取时间、CPU占用率、健康状态等详细信息

HD Tune(http://www.hdtune.com/)在国内非常流行,和其他常用的硬盘检测小软件一样,都有国内用户汉化的中文版本。软件官方提供安装版本和解压即可使用的绿色版本,你可以根据自己的喜爱来选择。下载并运行软件后,在软件的主界面上,首先是“基准检查”功能,直接单击右侧的“开始”按钮可以马上执行检测操作,软件将花费一段时间检测硬盘的传输、存取时间、CPU占用率,让你直观地判断硬盘的性能。如果你的系统中安装了多个硬盘,可以通过主界面上方的下拉菜单进行切换,包括移动硬盘在内的各种硬盘都能够被HD Tune支持,你可以通过HD Tune的检测了解硬盘的实际性能与标称值是否吻合,了解各种移动硬盘设备在实际使用上能够达到的最高速度。
如果希望进一步了解硬盘的信息,可以单击切换到“信息”选项卡,软件将提供系统中各硬盘的详细信息,如支持的功能与技术标准等,你可以通过该选项卡了解硬盘是否能够支持更高的技术标准,从多方面评估如何提高硬盘的性能。此外,单击切换到“健康状态”选项卡,可以查阅硬盘内部存储的运作记录,评估硬盘的状态是否正常。你不必担心不懂得如何了解这些信息,软件将直观地以状态好坏来告诉你。如果怀疑硬盘有可能存在不安全因素,你还可以切换到“错误扫描”选项卡,检查一下硬盘上是否开始有存取问题。

HD Tach
检测硬盘速度、存取时间等硬件指标

HD Tach(http://www.simplisoftware.com/)是一款专门用于检测硬盘存取速度、存取时间等硬件指标的检测软件,与HD Tune不同的是,该软件的检测功能更加灵活,并且软件内建庞大的各类磁盘数据库,可以将检测的结果与之相比较,了解检测的硬盘性能与其他硬盘的差异。因而,该软件在国内极受欢迎,也能够搜索下载到国内用户汉化的版本。
软件的使用非常简单,安装运行后从主界面上的下拉菜单选择要检测的磁盘,可以是系统上已安装的硬盘,也可以是移动硬盘或MO等随机存取的可擦写光盘设备,并从下拉菜单下方选择是需要快速检测还是更充分的检测,充分检测软件将以更多的数据存取来检测硬盘的性能。选择完毕后单击“开始测试”,软件将依次检测磁盘的存取速度、CPU占用率、随机存取速度等指标,并在检测之后以图表方式给出结果。
在查看检测结果时,如果你希望将检测结果与其他硬盘相比较,只需单击下方的“比较别的驱动器”,然后从软件提供的各种品牌类型的硬盘信息列表中选择要比较的一个,确认并返回,软件就会以不同颜色的曲线在图表上表示出来,让你能直观地了解你的硬盘与用来做比较的硬盘有多大的差异。

光盘驱动器检测
光盘驱动器相关的检测软件非常多,部分品牌的刻录机还配备有专用的检测软件,例如Plextor(浦科特)的PlexTools Professional,它除了可以测试读写速度,还可以检测刻录质量等。而当今DVD刻录时代,最常用的检测软件莫过于Nero InfoTool、Nero CD-DVD Speed、DvdInfo Pro以及部分刻录机能够支持的KPorbe。通过这些软件,你可以轻松地查询光盘驱动器的信息与刻录盘片的信息,检测光盘驱动器与刻录盘片的读写速度、刻录质量等等。
但在为你逐一介绍这几款软件之前,有必要提前说明的是,在检测刻录机时,由于检测过程中取样的次数不同,读取光盘数据进行检验时所使用的设备以及检测软件本身也可能存在误差等种种因素,所以对光盘品质与刻录质量的检测,在同一检测环境中比较各种盘片或刻录质量才有意义,不可简单地根据自己对刻录盘片的测试来判断哪一种刻录机刻录质量较好。

Nero CD-DVD Speed
检测刻录机速度、盘片质量、盘片可读性

Nero CD-DVD Speed(http://www.cdspeed2000.com/)是著名刻录软件Nero套装的一部分,但也可以单独下载。该软件是目前可以支持最多光盘驱动器的检测软件,绝大部分CD、DVD光盘驱动器或刻录机都可以使用该软件进行检测。该软件可以支持各种光盘驱动器和光盘的速度与读写质量的检测,还可以测试超刻效果。
打开该软件并从上方的下拉菜单中选择要检测的光盘驱动器,单击“开始”按钮,软件将开始检测该光盘驱动器,并详细列出该光盘驱动器搭配当前使用的盘片可使用的最高刻录速度以及在刻录过程中的CPU占用率等详细的参数)。
另外,单击“ScanDisc”选项卡,软件将对光盘进行扫描,检查光盘的可读性。转到“Disc Quality”可以检测盘片的质量,测试的标准与业界标准相同,DVD光盘以8个ECCB为1个PI测试单位,PI错误不能超过280个。如果是CD光盘,那么测试的单位就是秒,C1错误的标准上限为220,C2标准没有明确规定,但当然是越低越好了。检测完毕,如果需要,你可以通过Nero CD-DVD Speed主界面上方的存储按钮或“文件”菜单保存检测的各项结果,以便与其他产品的检测结果进行比较。

Nero InfoTool
检测刻录机详细信息、系统相关软硬件信息

Nero InfoTool是著名刻录软件Nero(http://www.nero.com/)套装的一部分,该软件能够检测光盘驱动器类型、固件版本、读取数据和刻录速度、缓存以及所支持的光盘格式、刻录技术等参数,并且能够详细列出当前系统中相关接口的软硬件环境,例如驱动程序版本、IDE接口状态等。软件的使用非常简单,运行该软件将自动检测CD、DVD刻录机的信息,并马上列出DVD刻录机的详细信息。在显示刻录机信息的对话框上,你可以通过各个选项卡切换查阅的内容,例如在“Configuration”选项卡上,你将能够检查当前CD、DVD刻录机与系统的连接状况,检查当前所连接的端口是否打开了DMA支持,是否为该驱动器设置了自动播放功能等可能影响刻录质量的信息。

DvdInfo Pro
检测刻录机、盘片、刻录质量

使用DvdInfo Pro(http://www.dvdinfopro.com/)可以检测刻录机和刻录盘片信息,并能够对盘片的刻录质量进行检测。运行该软件将自动读取并列出系统中的CD和DVD刻录机型号、固件版本、使用接口、缓存大小等信息,还给出具体支持的刻录规格以及对各项功能的支持情况。单击DvdInfo Pro软件左上方的“Media”图标即可查看盘片的相关信息,通过其中的生产商(Manfacturer ID)与盘片类型、支持刻录速度等信息,判断盘片是否是真货。此外,“Media”图标之后还有“RPM”等图标,分别用于检测盘片读写速度与盘体读写错误。
如果需要检测刻录质量可单击上方的“PI/PIF”按钮,进入测试页面单击“Start”按钮开始测试,测试结果出来后,你可以通过结果中的各项参数来了解刻录质量的好坏。按照DVD刻录机的技术规范,ECCB中某一行如果有一个或更多的字节出现错误,则意味着出现一个PI错误,当一行中的错误字节超过5个时,此时的PI错误则称为不可修复的PI错误,而连续8个ECCB的PI错误不能超过280个,一个ECCB中的不可修复PI错误不能超过4个,如果测试的参数小于该值则说明刻录的效果不错,反之则不好。

KProbe
检测光盘盘片品质

KProbe(http://www.cdrlabs.com/kprobe/)是一个相当著名的光盘测试软件,是一款针对LiTEON(建兴)光盘驱动器而设计的检测软件,因而该软件只支持“建兴”这一品牌的光盘驱动器,虽然也有部分“建兴”的OEM产品或采用相同设计的产品能够使用,但检测的准确性不好说。该软件有3项主要的功能,分别是检测光盘盘片的刻录品质、空白光盘盘片的品质与传输速度,通过软件主界面的选项卡可以切换检测的功能。
打开软件首先看到的是光盘刻录品质测试,检测方法与其他检测软件相同,以PI、PO错误评估DVD刻录质量,ATER/ADER选项卡可对空白盘片进行测试,通过右侧上方的“Write”复选项可以设定是否进行真实的刻录操作来完成检测,最后的选项卡用于测试传输速度。在所有的检测进行完毕之后,如果需要,你可以单击上方工具栏的磁盘图标,将测试结果存储起来,以便在互联网上发布,与其他朋友共同分析检测结果,或用于以后比较时使用。

主板检测
希望检测主板上的温度、电源电压以及风扇等散热装置的状态吗?这已经不再是“华硕”等大品牌主板的专利,不需要通过主板附带的专用软件,大部分主板都可以使用下面介绍的软件进行检测,甚至还可以实施监测,在主板上相关部件异常(例如温度过高)、电源电压波幅过大时警告用户。

Motherboard Monitor
检测CPU、主板温度和电源电压、风扇转速

电源检测
从各大电源品牌的热销来看,相信大家都不难明白电源在电脑系统中的重要性。如今的电脑设备通常配备快速的CPU、硬盘、光盘驱动器,还得外带各种千奇百怪的外设,很多都是耗电大户,供电不足已经成了导致系统崩溃、外设无法正常使用、刻录机出现刻录错误或者硬盘不定时停工的主要原因之一。不时检测一下自己的电源工作是否良好,这是很重要的。

Over Clock Checking Tool
检测电源输出值、稳定性

Over Clock Checking Tool(http://www.ocbase.com/)简称OCCT,该软件主要设计用于检测系统在高负荷工作状态下系统的稳定性,主要检测电源输出值与CPU、主板的温度,以便评估系统是否仍有超频的潜力。因其对电源的检测结果详尽、直观而深受用户的欢迎,几乎在所有涉及电源品质的讨论中,都以OCCT的检测结果为标准。
由于电源供电状态的测试需要准确获得主板感应器的数据,而电脑主板又千差万别,所以为了准确地获得信息,OCCT不尝试自行读取主板感应器,而是采取了一种简单有效的方法,就是搭配通用的主板监测软件Motherboard Monitor、Speed Fan或用户主板附带的专用程序,例如“华硕”主板的ASUS PC Probe,为用户提供一份完美的电源质量报告。因而,在使用OCCT之前,如果你使用的不是“华硕”主板并已安装ASUS PC Probe,那么你需要先安装一个Motherboard Monitor或Speed Fan(Motherboard Monitor和Speed Fan使用方法可参考本文主板检测部分)。
安装运行OCCT,软件将首先让你选择要搭配哪一个软件使用,如果你使用的是Motherboard Monitor,可以选择“MBM5”,软件将马上通过主板检测软件获得CPU、主板温度以及各种不同电压输入的当前值,让你确认数值是否正确。如果需要,你可以将这些数值与主板检测软件测出的数值相比较,选择正确的数值以确保OCCT能够正确读取主板感应器数据。确认之后,软件将转到显示上述数值当前变化的监控窗口。单击监控窗口右下角的“Option”按钮,你可以设定测试时电源的负载是“Lowest”(最低)还是“Highest”(最高),共有5个等级可供你选择,选择之后单击“Go Back”回到监控窗口,单击左下角的“Test”可以马上开始测试。测试的过程需时约30分钟,测试完毕,软件将生成系统温度变化、CPU温度变化、CPU电压波动、5V电压波动、3.3V电压波动、12V电压波动等5个检测结果图,存储在安装目录下的“Graphs”子目录中,并自动打开该文件夹供你查阅结果图。基本上,电源的品质越好,检测结果中的波动幅度就越小,但一般情况下,±5%的波动幅度还是可以接受的。

显示器检测
显示器检测软件是最受欢迎的硬件检测软件之一,通过显示器检测软件你可以找出显示器的瑕疵,也可以用于帮助你调节好显示器的设置,使显示器处于最佳的显示状态。目前,可供选择的显示器检测软件非常多,但实际上检测显示器软件只是用于显示一些辅助性的画面,具体的调节与判断关键在于用户。所以,显示器检测软件的选择关键在于所提供的检测内容是否足够多,以及显示的辅助画面是否更有助于找出显示器的问题,是否能够帮助用户更容易地调节显示器。因而,下面我们在为你介绍显示器检测软件时,将着重于告诉你软件能提供何种检测功能以及在检测什么问题时能够派上用场,以便你选择适合自己的软件。当然,你也可以同时选择多种软件对显示器进行检测,以便更仔细地找出显示器可能存在的问题,更好地调节显示器到最佳的显示状态。

光盘驱动器检测
光盘驱动器相关的检测软件非常多,部分品牌的刻录机还配备有专用的检测软件,例如Plextor(浦科特)的PlexTools Professional,它除了可以测试读写速度,还可以检测刻录质量等。而当今DVD刻录时代,最常用的检测软件莫过于Nero InfoTool、Nero CD-DVD Speed、DvdInfo Pro以及部分刻录机能够支持的KPorbe。通过这些软件,你可以轻松地查询光盘驱动器的信息与刻录盘片的信息,检测光盘驱动器与刻录盘片的读写速度、刻录质量等等。
但在为你逐一介绍这几款软件之前,有必要提前说明的是,在检测刻录机时,由于检测过程中取样的次数不同,读取光盘数据进行检验时所使用的设备以及检测软件本身也可能存在误差等种种因素,所以对光盘品质与刻录质量的检测,在同一检测环境中比较各种盘片或刻录质量才有意义,不可简单地根据自己对刻录盘片的测试来判断哪一种刻录机刻录质量较好。

Nero CD-DVD Speed
检测刻录机速度、盘片质量、盘片可读性

Nero CD-DVD Speed(http://www.cdspeed2000.com/)是著名刻录软件Nero套装的一部分,但也可以单独下载。该软件是目前可以支持最多光盘驱动器的检测软件,绝大部分CD、DVD光盘驱动器或刻录机都可以使用该软件进行检测。该软件可以支持各种光盘驱动器和光盘的速度与读写质量的检测,还可以测试超刻效果。

Over Clock Checking Tool
检测电源输出值、稳定性

Over Clock Checking Tool(http://www.ocbase.com/)简称OCCT,该软件主要设计用于检测系统在高负荷工作状态下系统的稳定性,主要检测电源输出值与CPU、主板的温度,以便评估系统是否仍有超频的潜力。因其对电源的检测结果详尽、直观而深受用户的欢迎,几乎在所有涉及电源品质的讨论中,都以OCCT的检测结果为标准。
由于电源供电状态的测试需要准确获得主板感应器的数据,而电脑主板又千差万别,所以为了准确地获得信息,OCCT不尝试自行读取主板感应器,而是采取了一种简单有效的方法,就是搭配通用的主板监测软件Motherboard Monitor、Speed Fan或用户主板附带的专用程序,例如“华硕”主板的ASUS PC Probe,为用户提供一份完美的电源质量报告。因而,在使用OCCT之前,如果你使用的不是“华硕”主板并已安装ASUS PC Probe,那么你需要先安装一个Motherboard Monitor或Speed Fan(Motherboard Monitor和Speed Fan使用方法可参考本文主板检测部分)。
安装运行OCCT,软件将首先让你选择要搭配哪一个软件使用,如果你使用的是Motherboard Monitor,可以选择“MBM5”,软件将马上通过主板检测软件获得CPU、主板温度以及各种不同电压输入的当前值,让你确认数值是否正确。如果需要,你可以将这些数值与主板检测软件测出的数值相比较,选择正确的数值以确保OCCT能够正确读取主板感应器数据。确认之后,软件将转到显示上述数值当前变化的监控窗口。单击监控窗口右下角的“Option”按钮,你可以设定测试时电源的负载是“Lowest”(最低)还是“Highest”(最高),共有5个等级可供你选择,选择之后单击“Go Back”回到监控窗口,单击左下角的“Test”可以马上开始测试。测试的过程需时约30分钟,测试完毕,软件将生成系统温度变化、CPU温度变化、CPU电压波动、5V电压波动、3.3V电压波动、12V电压波动等5个检测结果图,存储在安装目录下的“Graphs”子目录中,并自动打开该文件夹供你查阅结果图。基本上,电源的品质越好,检测结果中的波动幅度就越小,但一般情况下,±5%的波动幅度还是可以接受的。

显示器检测
显示器检测软件是最受欢迎的硬件检测软件之一,通过显示器检测软件你可以找出显示器的瑕疵,也可以用于帮助你调节好显示器的设置,使显示器处于最佳的显示状态。目前,可供选择的显示器检测软件非常多,但实际上检测显示器软件只是用于显示一些辅助性的画面,具体的调节与判断关键在于用户。所以,显示器检测软件的选择关键在于所提供的检测内容是否足够多,以及显示的辅助画面是否更有助于找出显示器的问题,是否能够帮助用户更容易地调节显示器。因而,下面我们在为你介绍显示器检测软件时,将着重于告诉你软件能提供何种检测功能以及在检测什么问题时能够派上用场,以便你选择适合自己的软件。当然,你也可以同时选择多种软件对显示器进行检测,以便更仔细地找出显示器可能存在的问题,更好地调节显示器到最佳的显示状态。

Release 5.3 build 1034 WIN32 release 3 October 2008 - Correction to setting the CD burn test drive in preferences. - Changed the mechanism to check for the required DirectX Direct3D as the previous method did not work on some system (some W2003 servers). - Enhanced the mechanism to report memory hardware errors in the Memory torture test. Release 5.3 build 1033 WIN32 release 1 October 2008 - Changes to correct a BurnInTest crash problem on some systems. When the disk and standard RAM tests are run for many hours, BurnInTest may have disappeared with no error message. Release 5.3 build 1030 WIN32 release 25 September 2008 - Changes to investigate a BurnInTest crash problem on XP SP3. Release 5.3 build 1028 WIN32 release 11 September 2008 - Two 2D Video memory test crash bug workarounds implemented. Crashes in (i) DirectX DirectShow and (ii) ATI atiumdag.dll library. - A hang on startup has been corrected. A 2 minute timeout has been added to the collection of system information. - Video playback, Hard disk and CD/DVD test 'no operations' error reporting changed. - When BurnInTest crashes, it will not generate a "minidump" file. Minidumps will need to be sent to Microsoft as per the normal process. However, a log entry will be added to the normal BurnInTest log. - Changes to trace logging to reduce activity when trace logging is not turned on. - Note: We have seen a report of the Video Playback failing (crash) due to a faulty video codec, ffdshow.ax. If you are using this we suggest you try a different Video file and codec. Release 5.3 build 1027 revision 0003 WIN32 release 19 August 2008 - Changed the 2D test to wait for the Video Playback test in order to allow memory allocation for the Video playback test. - Changed the Memory test to wait for the Video Playback test and 3D test to allow memory allocation for these tests. - Minor changes to the No operation error watchdog timer for the CD and Hard disk tests. - Minor correction to the Butterfly seek test. - Video playback trace logging increased. Release 5.3 build 1027 revision 0002 WIN32 release 19 August 2008 - Video playback trace logging increased. Release 5.3 build 1027 WIN32 release 31 July 2008 - Corrected a bug where BurnInTest would fail to start if Activity trace level 2 logging (debug level logging) was turned on and the Logging Summarize option was also selected. - Minor change to the serial port test where, if "Disable RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR test phase" was selected the DTR and RTS lines would be explicitly disabled to prevent any toggling of these lines. Previously these where enabled, but not explicitly toggled. Release 5.3 build 1026 WIN32 release 17 July 2008 - Updated Level 2 and Level 3 CPU cache information for newer Intel CPU's. - Updated the detection of Hyperthreading and the number of logical CPUs for a new Intel CPU. Release 5.3 build 1025 WIN32 release 11 July 2008 - Corrected a Disk test bug where on rare occasions a verification error is incorrectly displayed. This is during the random seeking phase of the "Random data with random seeking" test mode and only occurs with some specific test settings. Release 5.3 build 1024 WIN32 release 10 July 2008 - Workaround for the rare crash bug in Vista in atklumdisp.dll at address 0x730676ae. - Added trace debug information for BurnInTest startup and the 3D test. Release 5.3 build 1022 WIN32 release 12 June 2008 - Corrected a bug where the 2D video memory test in BurnInTest v5.3.1020 and v5.3.1021 would report a "Not enough video memory available for test" error if the test was run a couple of times (without closing BurnInTest). Release 5.3 build 1021 WIN32 release 5 June 2008 - 32-bit BurnInTest PRO 5.3.1020 would not start on Windows 2000. This has been corrected. Release 5.3 build 1020 WIN32 release 29 May 2008 - BurnInTest could have crashed on accessing bad video memory hardware in the 2D test. This problem is now just reported as an error (and BurnInTest) continues. - When BurnInTest crashes, it should now generate a "minidump" file to help debug which system component caused the failure (32-bit Pro version only). - Other minor changes. Release 5.3 build 1019 WIN32 release 16 May 2008 - Corrected rare crash bugs in the 2D and Video tests. - Added a hot Key, F4, to set the auto run flag and run the tests (i.e. set "-r" and then run the tests). - Other minor changes. Release 5.3 build 1018 WIN32 release 16 April 2008 - Added an operation watchdog timer for all tests. In rare cases, a single test can stop in the operating system - i.e. there is a problem in the operating system/ device driver that prevents control being returned to the BurnInTest for that test. This was added for specialized serial port hardware that could lockup after several hours of testing. Release 5.3 build 1017 WIN32 release 3 April 2008 - Corrected the Advanced Network test to run on non-English Operating Systems. Release 5.3 build 1016 WIN32 release 17 March 2008 - Added additional USB 2.0 Loopback plug test initialization to ensure plugs are in a 'clean' state when starting the USB tests. This was added due to reported USB data verification errors after scripted USB testing across multiple reboots. Release 5.3 build 1015 WIN32 release 27 February 2008 - Increased error reporting detail for the standard RAM test, when the -v command line option is used. Release 5.3 build 1014 WIN32 release 30 January 2008 - Corrected a problem where the loopback sound test could run out of memory if run for several days. Release 5.3 build 1013 WIN32 release 31 December 2007 - Improved the reporting of COM port errors such that in the rare case a COM port locks up in the Operating System, the error is still reported. - Corrected a bug, where in rare cases, the result summary could be duplicated in a log file. - Updated license management, in an attempt to remove a rare crash on startup. Release 5.3 build 1012.0002 WIN32 release 31 October 2007 - New build of Rebooter (64-bit Windows correction). - Clarifications in the help file. Release 5.3 build 1012 WIN32 release 17 October 2007 - Changed the Standard Network Test, "Test all available NICs" such that the number of Network Addresses specified in Preferences->Network will be the number of NICs tested. This will error faulty NICs that are not detected by the BurnInTest auto NIC detection mechanism. - Minor change to the 2D memory test when run with the 3D test (multiple large windows) and the RAM test. Aimed at correcting sympton: Access Violation 0x00404CF9. - Corrections to the mapping of paths with ".\". Release 5.3 build 1011 rev 2 WIN32 release 17 September 2007 - Modified the Multi-Process torture test to better describe a new error message introduced in V5.3.1010. Release 5.3 build 1011 - Public release WIN32 release 11 September 2007 - Corrected a bug where "Limited Evaluation Version" could be displayed even after BUrnInTest is licensed (problem introduced in 32-bit BITPRO V5.3.1010). - Changed the Sound test to allow any of the tests (Wave, Midi or MP3) to be excluded from testing by blanking the filename. - The Command line parameter "-j" (cycle disk test patterns after each test file) could fail during the Random data test due to the mechanism used in BurnInTest. The Random data test is now excluded from the test when (and only when) the "-j" command line parameter is specified. - In rare circumstances, the 2D test number of operations could potentially overflow and become negative. This has been corrected. - In rare circumstances, BurnInTest could hang if there was a system problem in rebooting the system (ie. it failed to shutdown) using PassMark Rebooter. This has been corrected. Release 5.3 build 1010 - Public release WIN32 release 28 August 2007 WIN64 release 28 August 2007 - As BurnInTest exercises system components, it is possible for faulty hardware or device drivers to cause software exceptions. These are normally seen as Windows reporting an "Access Violation". Changes have been made to handle these errors for the memory tests (for faulty RAM) and direct device driver access (for some device driver errors), as well as overarching more generic handling of these types of errors. - Corrected a software failure bug on startup (particularly Vista) where a DirectX function was causing software failures in "dsetup.dll". - Updated the "Activity Event" generated with the periodic results summary report to be numbered (from 1 upwards) such that when "Logging->Summarize", these events are not summarized. - Corrected a bug where the HTML log name could include a duplicate of the filename prefix. - Updated to the Common Errors section of help. Release 5.3 build 1009 - Public release WIN32 release 16 August 2007 - Corrected a 'zip' version cleanup problem. Release 5.3 build 1008 - Komputer Swiat Expert magazine version WIN32 STD release 14 August 2007 Release 5.3 build 1007 - Public release WIN32 release 7 August 2007 - Corrected a disk test startup problem for some large RAID systems when SMART testing is selected. - Added additional logging for the disk test when an error occurs. - Changed the 3D test when run with the 2D EMC test to be 'behind' the EMC scrolling H's test. Allowed the test to be easily exited when running the 3D test in Fullscreen mode. - Minor corrections to the Advanced Network test. - Changed the log file reference of "Network Name" to "Computer Name". WIN64 specific: - MMX and 3DNow! are obsolete for native 64-bit applications. BurnInTest has been changed to show "NA" (Not applicable) in the test window for these tests. Release 5.3 build 1006 - Limited release WIN32 release 17 July 2007 - Standard Network Test changes: - Increased the number of destination IP addresses from 4 to 6. - Added an option (default) "Test all available NICs", which will force traffic down every system NIC with a basic algorithm of NIC1 to IP Address 1, NIC2 to IP Address 2 etc. - Advanced Network test changes: - Simplified the test. - Removed the UDP and FTP options. The Standard Network test can be used as a UDP test. - Removed the Advanced Network test specific logging, and included all relevant logging in the standard BurnInTest logging mechanism. - Replaced the complicated dynamic balancing of any system NIC to any Endpoint NIC with a simpler static allocation on test startup. - Changed the error detection mechanism to detect errors much more quickly. - Re-worked the errors reported. - Changed the CPU throttling mechanism to reduce the CPU load. - Updated endpoint.exe. - Removed checkend.exe (now obsolete). - Changed the logging rollover to work with the output of interim results (e.g. per 1 minute). Previously rollover only occurred on error events written to the log. This also corrected an issue where interim results summary logging could be written to the physical disk with some delay (based on Windows disk caching). - Corrected the "Unknown" reporting of some operating systems. - Added the skipping of the Butterfly seek disk test when run on Vista and insufficient privileges. A notification of this is logged. - Intel Quad core L2 cache size reporting has been added. - Added new SMART threshold descriptions. - Added new disk test options, accessed via command line parameters: /ka: keep disk test files in all cases (c.f. /k keep disk test files on error). /j: cycle patterns between test files. Note: Random seeking will be skipped in this case. This option has been added to allow multiple test patterns to be used across very large disks. - Added an option to make some test settings unavailable to the user. An example configuration file available on request. Release 5.3 build 1005 0001 (STD only) - Public release WIN32 release 29 June 2007 - Corrected a bug introduced in v5.3.1005.0000 STD (only) where the disk test would use up more and more system resources, thus causing test failures. Release 5.3 build 1005 rev 0003 (PRO only) - Limited public release WIN32 release 21 June 2007 - Correction to the behavior of a static RAM test pattern (rather than the default Cyclic pattern). Release 5.3 build 1005 rev 0002 (PRO only) - Limited public release WIN32 release 15 June 2007 - The "Select all CD/DVD drives" preferences option has been made user configurable, rather than using pre-defined test settings. Release 5.3 build 1005 rev 0001 (PRO only) - Limited public release WIN32 release 13 June 2007 - Bug correction for the CD auto selection feature. Release 5.3 build 1005 - Public release WIN32 release 18 May 2007 WIN64 release 18 May 2007 - In a number of cases, such as when specifying the post test application, uppercase application names were not accepted. This has been corrected. - The default font height in the 2D scrolling H's test should have been Arial 9. This has been changed. - The BurnInTest Video playback test incompatibility with Nero 6 and Nero 7 has been resolved. - The BurnInTest disk test throughput for dual core systems has been improved. Release 5.3 build 1004 rev2 - Limited release WIN32 release 8 May 2007 - Changed the Standard Network Test to better report packet error ratios. In addition, a new warning has been added to indicate that errors have been detected but not enough packets have been attempted to be sent to determine accurately whether the configured error ratio has been exceeded. - Corrected a bug where the "append to existing" logging option did not work across scripted reboots, and a new log file was created instead of appending to the existing log file. - If the 3D test was running, then BurnInTest blocked a forced close of BurnInTest, this blocking has been removed. - Changed the PASS and FAIL windows so they can now also be closed by selecting the Windows Close "X" button. Release 5.3 build 1004 - Public release WIN32 release 10 April 2007 WIN64 release 10 April 2007 - Corrected a problem introduced in BurnInTest v5.2 where BurnInTest could run out of memory (the main symptom) when tests where run for long periods (> 12hours). WIN64 specific: - Corrected a bug where the number of cores reported on a Quad core system was incorrectly reported as CPU packages. Release 5.3 build 1003 - Limited release WIN32 release 3 April 2007 - A new 2D GUI (Graphical User Interface) test has been added to the standard 2D graphics test. - Resolved an issue where BurnInTest would fail to start on Vista systems with DEP enabled for all programs. - On some systems, the Disk test could pause momentarily even when a duty cycle of 100% was specified. This pause has been removed. - When running the CD test under BartPE (Pre-install environment) 4 additional specific files are skipped as they are unavailable for testing. - Minor bug corrections. Release 5.3 build 1002 rev 0001 - Limited release WIN32 release 16 March 2007 - Changes to the new 3D test: - Added a Full screen non-windowed test for the primary monitor, where the resolution can be selected from those supported by the Graphics card. - Added the user option of changes the vertical sync in the full screen non-windowed test to be either the Maximum rate of the graphics card, or to be the rate of the monitor (this may prevent some flicker). - Added a more complex water texture using DirectX Vertex Shader 2.0 and Pixel Shader 2.0 effects (if supported by the graphics card). This applies to 3D test windows that are 800x600 or larger. - Changed some error messages from window displays (that require user intervention) to standard error reporting. Added new 3D error messages and more detail in the error reporting. - Changed the definition of an operation to be a successfully displayed frame. - Changed the definition of a cycle to be 2000 frames. - Changed 2D video memory test to wait until the 3D test starts (as per V5.2 and earlier). - A new version of rebooter has been included. - If BurnInTest is started with the -p command line parameter (to use the bit.exe directory for files such as the configuration file), then BurnInTest will start rebooter with the -p option. This can be useful when running BurnInTest and Rebooter from a USB drive. Release 5.3 build 1002 - Limited release WIN32 release 19 March 2007 - Corrected a bug introduced in V5.2 where selecting accumulated logging could lead to rebooter failing to launch. Release 5.3 build 1001 - Limited release WIN32 release 16 March 2007 - The 3D test has been improved. The 3D ball test has been replaced with a more complex 3D terrain test. This will more thoroughly exercise modern graphics cards. Further, the 3D test has been changed to support multi- monitor testing (up to 4 monitors). Accordingly, a new preferences section has been added for the 3D test. The multi-monitor test options are only available in BurnInTest Professional. Release 5.3 build 1001 - Limited release WIN32 release 16 March 2007 - The 3D test has been improved. The 3D ball test has been replaced with a more complex 3D terrain test. This will more thoroughly exercise modern graphics cards. Further, the 3D test has been changed to support multi- monitor testing (up to 4 monitors). Accordingly, a new preferences section has been added for the 3D test. The multi-monitor test options are only available in BurnInTest Professional. - BurnInTest uses DirectX 9.0c. This version of BurnInTest uses a more recent version of the Microsoft DirectX Direct3D component, October 2006. BurnInTest has been modified to detect and install this component (file) if it does not exist. - A command line parameter -X has been added to skip the DirectX version checking on BurnInTest start-up. - With the recent introduction of multi-monitor support for the Video Playback test, it is now more likely that the system will run out of memory when running multiple video tests simultaneously, particularly when more memory intensive codecs are used. A specific Insufficient resources to complete test message has been added in this case, rather than the previous more generic unrecoverable error message. The video test have been changed to attempt recovery from this and the more generic unrecoverable error, by closing the current video and opening the next. The logging detail has been increased. - Note: The BurnIntest sample video pack has been altered with the DivX Compressed Video file being removed due to the DivX codec failing with this Video file when used with multiple simultaneous Video playbacks. Access Violation: 0x69756e65. See: http://www.passmark.com/download/bit_download.htm - The video description is now collected for a larger range of Vista systems. - Windows 98 and ME are no longer supported.

Release 5.3 build 1000 - Limited release WIN32 release 8 March 2007 - Changed the 2D and Video playback tests to support multi-monitor testing. - When running the CD test under BartPE (Pre-install environment) 4 specific files are skipped as they are unavailable for testing. Release 5.2 build 1006 - Limited release WIN32 release 1 March 2007 - Corrected a bug where BurnInTest would fail to start on certain Vista systems. - Corrected a bug where some files where the full path was not specified would be incorrectly referenced in the Program Files directory, rather than the user personal directory. Release 5.2 build 1005 - Public release WIN32 release 21 February 2007 WIN64 release 21 February 2007 - Updated the Graphics card description for Windows Vista systems. - Updated the Advanced Network test to indicate that elevated administrator privileges are required when running on Vista. - Moved files from the Program files directory for the Advanced Network Test (BurnInTest, EndPoint and CheckEnd). Specifically, the User Application directory is now used for the temporary test FTP files and the User Personal directory is now used for the log and configuration files. - Updated the cleanup process for when running the "zip" version of BurnInTest Professional from a CD or flash drive. - Updated the help link from the Windows Start, All Programs, BurnInTest menu for the browser based help. - Corrected a bug where Disk preferences displayed in the Preferences window would be incorrect when the system had no Floppy drive. - Corrected a bug where the Advanced Network test might not have been displayed until after entering the Duty Cycle selection (ie. just chaning from the standard network test to the advanced test). - Corrected a USB bug in Beta 5.2.1003 where the test would not run if there where there insufficient USB loopback plugs attached to the system. - Included a new version of PassMark Rebooter that supports Windows Vista. Release 5.2 build 1004 - Public Pre-release WIN32 release 13 February 2007 - Updated the reported Operating system for the various Vista product editions. - Disk test settings can be configured for "Automatically Select all Hard Disks", rather than using defaults. - When running the CD test under BartPE (Pre-install environment) 4 specific files are skipped as they are unavailable for testing. - Corrected a bug where temperature information could be duplicated in the HTML report. - Corrected a bug certain 'save report' warning messages could be truncated. - Help file updated. Release 5.2 build 1003 - BETA RELEASE ONLY WIN32 release 23 January 2007 - Changed the USB preferences and test to more completely check for the PassMark USB Loopback plugs and ignore any device that is not a PassMark USB Loopback plug (due to reported incorrect detection with another hardware device). - Increased Trace level debugging for Intel temperature monitoring. - Corrected a bug with the disk test introduced in 5.2.1001 Release 5.2 build 1002 - BETA RELEASE ONLY WIN32 release 22 January 2007 - Increased the number of disks that can be tested from 20 to 26. - Updated BurnInTest to reflect that Temperature monitoring with Intel Desktop utilities is supported. Intel Desktop utilities essentially is a replacement for Intel Active Monitor for newer Intel motherboards. - Increased Trace level debugging for Intel temperature monitoring. Release 5.2 build 1001 - BETA RELEASE ONLY WIN32 release 19 January 2007 - Windows Vista support. - The Block size used in the disk test is now configurable per disk. The default block size has been increased from 16KB to 32KB. - An option has been added to automatically detect all of the CD and DVD drives for the CD test (as per the disk test). This may be useful when testing across many systems with different optical drive configurations. - Increased Trace level debugging for Intel temperature monitoring. - Bugs corrected: - Disk preferences - in rare cases invalid default values could be set for a disk, an invalid value error would occur and the values would need to be manually corrected. Release 5.2 build 1000 - limited release WIN32 release 8 January 2007 - Windows Vista support. - Reduced the need for elevated administrator privileges: - Changed the location of the disk test files from the root directory of the test volume to a BurnInTest data files subdirectory (e.g from "C:\" to "C:\BurnInTest test files\") - Moved many of the files from the Program Files directory to the User directory for Windows 2000, XP and Vista. When running BurnInTest on Windows 98, ME or from a key.dat file (e.g. from a USB drive with a licensed key.dat) BurnInTest will store these files in the BurnInTest program directory. Specifically, the following files have been moved from the Program Files directory to the User Personal directory, e.g. Vista - "C:\Users\\Documents\PassMark\BurnInTest\" XP - "My Documents\PassMark\BurnInTest\" Files: Configuration file, Configuration load/save default directory, Save log file and image default directory, parallel port override "ioports.dat" directory, default command line script directory, log file directory, video file directory, Plugin directory, machine id file directory, Run as script default directory, CD burn image, Advanced network FTP temp files. - Replaced the Help system with Browser based help. - Changed the Disk test block size from 16KB to 256KB. It is planned to make this user configurable in the next build. Release 5.1 build 1014 WIN32 release 2 November 2006 WIN64 release 2 November 2006 - Corrected a bug when running on Vista, where the Standard network test would report a checksum error when the transmitted data was correct. - Corrected a bug where BurnInTest would not stop the tests based on the number of test cycles for the Plugin test or the Advanced Network test. - Made the "Could not set USB2Test mode" USB error message more specific by adding an error for insufficient system resources. - Changed the preferences Window to fit on an 800x600 resolution screen. - Corrected a minor bug in Activity level 2 trace logging with the 'hide duplicate' preference setting. - Corrected a minor memory leak if the 2D test failed to initialize (such as due to a DirectX problem). - The Parallel port test may now be used on Windows Vista. Specifically, the PassMark device driver used for the parallel port test could not be loaded on 64-bit Windows Vista as it was not digitally signed. It is now digitally signed. Release 5.1 build 1013 revision 0002 WIN32 release 19 September 2006 WIN64 release 19 September 2006 - Corrected an Access Violation problem reported by a customer on a particular MB. Release 5.1 build 1013 WIN32 release 7 September 2006 WIN64 release 7 September 2006 - The "Notes" section has been added to the Customer results certificate. - Some additional configuration range validation has been added. Release 5.1 build 1012 WIN32 release 15 August 2006 - Corrected a false report of a "Unable to get disk volume extent information" for the disk butterfly seek test. - Advanced Network test changes for errors: "Corrupt header - packet discarded" and "Advanced Network test timed out" - Advanced Network test Endpoint changes for problems on non-English Operating Systems and systems with the Windows "Network Interface" performance statistics disabled. - SMART parameters on a Samsung Hard Disk caused BurnInTest to fail when running the disk test with SMART thresholds enabled. This has been corrected. - The 2D scrolling H's test could display corrupt characters on the second and subsequent test run. This has been corrected. - A problem with the Integer maths test where the results could display a negative number of operations has been resolved. - Minor improvements to the help file. - HTML help file added for Windows Vista and Longhorn Server. - Minor improvements to the Error Classification file (error descriptions). - Some CD Trace level 1 logging has been moved to trace level 2. - Trace level 1 logging has been added to the test closing software. - New build of Endpoint.exe (1.0 1010). Release 5.1 build 1011 WIN32 release 6 July 2006 - New Advanced Network test error reporting added in the previous build V5.1 1010 has been removed. - A broader range of USB 2.0 Loopback plugs can now be used with BurnInTest. Release 5.1 build 1010 WIN32 release 4 July 2006 - Corrected the HTML report description of the L2/L3 CPU cache when the L3 cache size could not be determined. Advanced network changes: - Endpoints ran at 100% CPU load as they contained no throttling. This impacted their ability to effectively handle multiple threads handling TCP/UDP messaging. Throttling has been added to the EndPoint side to reduce CPU load. This does not greatly impact Network load. - Throttling on the BurnInTest side contained a sleep that was not insignificant. This could have impacted the BurnInTest data test thread to to handle incoming TCP and particularly UDP messages. This sleep has been reduced and other throttling parameters changed to suit. (ie. smaller sleeps more often). - EndPoint systems with x NICs (where x > 1), reported themselves as an Endpoint with x NICs, x times. Effectively registering with BurnInTest as x * x EndPoint NICS. This impacted the effectiveness of the load distribution to EndPoint NICs. An Endpoint system now only registers the once with BurnInTest. - The BurnInTest side did not report data verification Checksum errors for full duplex testing. This error determination has been corrected and reporting added. - The Test statistics sent from the Endpoint to BurnInTest could fail if the statistics block is split across 2 lower level TCP send packets. This could lead to problems like incorrect reporting of Endpoint determined checksum errors, Endpoint load and load balancing. Further it would lead to an Endpoint testthread being put into an endless TCP send loop. This would eventually bring the Endpoint system to its knees as more and more of these test threads go into this state. This has been corrected. - The Data Received reported by BurnInTest was double counted. This has been corrected. Release 5.1 build 1009 WIN32 release 23 June 2006 - Plugin test error classifications were incorrect in the log file detailed description. - Corrections to the advanced network test (BurnInTest and EndPoint). Release 5.1 build 1008 - limited release WIN32 release 20 June 2006 - Advanced network changes corrections. Most notably, a bug where part of the payload data could be lost if the payload block (eg. 1000 bytes) was split across 2 (or more) lower level TCP packets. - Added version reporting for Endpoints. Release 5.1 build 1007 - limited release WIN32 release 16 June 2006 Advanced network changes: - Corrected a BurnInTest access Violation introduced in V5.1 1006. - The Endpoint now reports its version and build to BurnInTest and BurnInTest reports this in the log file if it is an earlier version than expected. This is to help avoid the situation where old Endpoints are run on the Network, that may not be compatible with the version of BurnInTest being run by the user. - Removed a timeout report in a specific instance where a timeout is not an error. - Changed the Endpoint rebalancing and polling to occur less often after the test has been running 3 minutes. This is to help allowing the handling of polling from a larger number of multiple copies of BurnInTest on the Network. - Added a connection retries on failure for the Endpoint. - Corrected a memory leak in the Endpoint. - Increased the number of sockets supported. - Corrected some Advanced Network error classifications. Release 5.1 build 1006 - limited release WIN32 release 14 June 2006 - Improvements to the Advanced Network test (both BurnInTest V5.1 1006 and EndPoint V1.0 1004) to remove corrupted false packet corruption errors. Improved the timeout recovery mechanism. Added some validation to the Windows Network performance data used for NIC utilization. - Changes to the collection of Disk drive information on startup to try to resolve a startup issue on Systems with a large number of physical drives and 'unusual' WMI namings. Release 5.1 build 1005 WIN32 release 2 June 2006 - Corrected a bug in the Advanced network test where the test would not recover from timeout errors. The test appears to be running, but the results are 0 and the number of connected End Points are 0. Also improved the retry on timeout mechanism. - Removed some duplication in error reporting in the Advanced Network test. - Changed the Advanced Network display of Utilization to ensure a maximum of 100% displayed. - Corrected an Advanced Network test bug where the number of Errors reported in the test window would not take into account the corrupt packet threshold, and an error would be added for each occurrence of the corrupt packet (rather than when the user set threshold was reached). Release 5.1 build 1004b WIN32 release 25 May 2006 (not publicly released) - Corrected the default Advanced network corrupt packet threshold value. - Updated the data entry fields in the CD preferences when a different CD drive is selected. - The Advanced Network specific log files should be concatenated for a script run. This was only occurring for the first NIC under test. The concatenation will now occur for each NIC under test, when run from a script. - Corrected a bug where a log file name specified with no directory path could be incorrect. - Corrected a bug where the customer "Test Certificate" report incorrectly translated the "%" character from a customer specific HTML template. eg would be translated to . - The "Advanced Network test error" (215) has been removed and replaced with other existing error messages 214, 219, 220, 221 or 222. - Added the Customer name and Technician name to the text and HTMl reports. Previously, this information was only included in the "Test Certificate" report. - We have added a commandline option to specify the Serial port test data as a constant value. To specify specific data for the Serial port test you should specify e.g. "bit.exe /E 23" from the command line where 23 is in decimal and will be used for all test data (instead of random data). The vales should be between 0 and 255. Release 5.1 build 1004 WIN32 release 19 April 2006 (not publicly released) - Added the COM port speed of 921600 Kbits/s for RS 422/RS485 testing. - Changed the CD test to ensure that the entire test CD data is not cached on systems with a large amount of RAM. - Added a -M command line option to display the Machine ID window automatically when BurninTest starts. - Changed the 2D EMC scrolling H's test to work on multiple monitors were the resolution on each is different. - Changed log files such the syntax "..\" could be used for files in the directory up a level. - Minor correction to the advanced network test. Release 5.1 build 1003 WIN32 release 18 April 2006 WIN64 release 18 April 2006 - Changed the Advanced network test to allow a corrupt packet threshold value up to 1 million. - Bundled a new version of rebooter. Release 5.1 build 1002 WIN32 release 11 April 2006 WIN64 release 11 April 2006 - Corrections to the translation of V4.0 to V5 configuration files. Note: Configuration files in V5.x builds prior to V5.1 1002 could become corrupted if a V4.0 configuration file is loaded. - Corrected a bug where the main Window size and location were not restored on restarting BurnInTest. - Changes to the SMART attribute logging to support a greater range of Disk drive device drivers. Added additional Activity Level 2 trace logging. - Added an option to use CTS (Clear To Send) flow control in the loop back stage of the COM port test. - Corrected a bug where the CPU L3 cache could be reported as -1. - Help file updates. Release 5.1 build 1001 WIN32 release 30/March/2006 - Digitally signed the BurnInTest application to allow it to run under Windows Server "Longhorn". Note, previously only the installation package was digitally signed. - Updated the reported Operating system descriptions, including: - Windows Vista - Windows Server "Longhorn" - Corrected a bug where the Advanced network information was not displayed on the main window when it was run from a script. - The Advanced Network Corrupt threshold packet has been changed to produce an error every time the error is received after the threshold is reached. - Corrected the reporting of "Network, Packet discarded due to corrupt header" as a Network test error. - Corrected a bug where a new log file was not created if (only) the log prefix changed during the running of a script file. - Split the "Network, Advanced Network test error" error into 6 errors: "Network, Advanced Network test error" "Advanced Network Socket error" "Advanced Network Send error" "Advanced Network Send error - no data sent" "Advanced Network Receive error" "Advanced Network Receive error - no data received" Added either activity trace 1 or trace 2 logging for each of the errors, with additional information where available. - Added additional Serial port activity trace 2 logging. Including the logging of all transmit buffer data when the /B command line is used. Release 5.1 build 1000 WIN32 release 27/March/2006 (not a public release) Added the following features: - Create the log file directory specified in the Logging Options if it does not exist. - Condense the Advanced Network Test log files to one log file per IP address per script run, when run from a script. - Added an option to summarize duplicate errors in the log file. - Color coded errors based on severity in the Detailed event log Window and the HTML log file. - Added an option to only create a log file when BurnIn actually runs a test as opposed to every time BurnIn is executed. - Added a warning if a test thread completes with 0 cycles and 0 operations. - In the results summary html file, inserted more spacing between the 揘otes? and 揇etailed Event Log? - Changed the Activity Trace file format to be the same as the log file, ie. text or HTML, rather than always text. - The 2D 揝crolling H抯?test will now display across multiple screens/displays ?i.e. all active displays. - A threshold has been added for the 揷orrupt header ?packet discarded?event in the advanced network options so that a 揊ail?is not produced when that is the only thing that produces errors. - Added looping capability in scripting. LOOP n { ? } where n is the number of times to repeat the commands in the brackets. - Corrected a bug where PASS could be displayed if the Advanced Network test was the only test running, but it failed. Release 5.0 build 1001 WIN32 release 9/March/2006 - Corrected a bug where Network directory paths were not accepted, eg. for the log file name and post test application file name. - The CPU maths test has been improved to better load up all CPU's. Previously BurnInTest started a maths test thread per physical CPU package. BurnInTest has been changed to start a maths test thread per CPU (= num. physical CPU packages x num. CPU cores x num. logical CPUs). - The CPU preferences have been changed to allow the CPU maths test to be locked to any CPU (ie. select a CPU from a list of CPU's where the number of CPU's = num. physical CPU packages x num. CPU cores x num. logical CPUs). - The Parallel and Serial port error message have been modified in the case where a test plug may not have been connected to indicate that the user should check this. - Corrected a bug where a licenced version could display the message "[limited evaluation version]" Release 5.0 build 1000 WIN32 release 24/February/2006 WIN64 release 24/February/2006 NEW TESTS & IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING TESTS BurnInTest Standard and Professional versions. - Added a customer style results certificate. This will save the log file in HTML format but from the perspective of a end customer. This report style can be tailored by the user (through changing an HTML template). - An MP3 playback test has been added to the Sound test. - A color printer test has been added. - A new post test option to allow the results to be printed automatically at the end of a test has been added. - Added new Post-test action options of: - Optionally allow the user to "run an external program & exit" after BIT has been manually stopped. Modify the $RESULT variable to "PASS (manual abort)" or "FAIL (manual abort)" for this case. - Allow the results window to be displayed for all post test options (except Reboot). - Added new Pre-test actions to allow an external application to be run and have BIT wait for the application to exit. On continuing, BIT will run the subscript file (of scripting commands) if it has been created. - Changed the manual Stop buttons, to abort the running of a script (rather than just the current test). BurnInTest Professional specific. - Added a "Plugin" test that allows users to develop their own BurnInTest test modules for specialized hardware. Three external plugins may be specified at once. - A Modem test has been added to BurnInTest as a Plugin. PassMark's ModemTest Version V1.3 (latest build) is required. - A KeyBoard Test has been added to BurnInTest as a Plugin. PassMark's KeyboardTest Version V2.2 (latest build) is required. - A Firewire Test has been added to BurnInTest as a Plugin. PassMark's free Firewire plugin is required and a "Kanguru FireFlash" drive is required. - A new advanced network test has been added. BurnInTest Professional only. - The Memory test now allows the user to specify the type of test pattern to be used. - Testing with the USB 2.0 Loopback plug has been improved. When used with USB 2.0 Loopback device driver V2.0.1002, error details will now be reported for: CRC error reported by USB Host controller BIT STUFF error reported by USB Host controller DATA TOGGLE MISMATCH error reported by USB Host controller STALL PID error reported by USB Host controller DEVICE NOT RESPONDING error reported by USB Host controller PID CHECK FAILURE error reported by USB Host controller UNEXPECTED PID error reported by USB Host controller DATA OVERRUN error reported by USB Host controller DATA UNDERRUN error reported by USB Host controller BUFFER OVERRUN error reported by USB Host controller BUFFER UNDERRUN error reported by USB Host controller NOT ACCESSED error reported by USB Host controller FIFO error reported by USB Host controller TRANSACTION (XACT) ERROR reported by USB Host controller BABBLE DETECTED error reported by USB Host controller DATA BUFFER ERROR reported by USB Host controller In the case of these errors, BurnInTest will re-attempt the operation. The user can set the Error reporting to be skipped for the initial recovery attempt. IMPROVEMENTS TO TESTING FACILITIES - Added a disk autoconfig, such that when tests are started, the disk drives and settings will be defaults to all disks (exc. CD/DVD). This may be useful when testing multiple systems with different hard disk drive letters. - Store the position of the Main window on exiting BurnInTest. On starting BurnInTest, position the main window as saved; on starting tests, position the test windows as saved. - Allow a "drag & drop" of the Configuration file directly on the BurnInTest program icon. - Allow testing 99.5% to 100% of disk, instead of 94%, for disks that do not contain the Windows directory and do not contain a swap file. - Added the ability to log interim results, which may be useful for unstable systems. - AMD and Intel Dual core reporting added. - New L2 CPU cache sizes added to reports. - CPU support for SSE3, DEP and PAE added to reports. - Shortcut of "F1" for contextual help added to all Windows. - Improve the flexibility in specifying the EXECUTEWAIT scripting command for sleeper. - Updated logging header information with the hard and optical drive model. - The 2D and 3D tests have been updated to use DirectX 9.0c. - User interface updated. - The HTML report format has been improved. - The BurnInTest configuration file extension has been renamed from .cfg to use .bitcfg, to ensure the configuration file is associated with BurnInTest. - An error message indicating that accumulated log files are not supported when run from CD or DVD has been added. - To allow smaller test files with very large disks, the minimum disk test file size has been reduced from 0.1% to 0.01% of the disk space. - Log events were previously shown as "INFORMATION" if they were low level errors, or simply additional information (not errors). "INFORMATION" now refers to a low level error, and "LOG NOTE" now refers to additional information (that is not in the error count). - Improved the specific detail of the Serial Port errors detected. BurnInTest now reports framing errors, buffer overrun errors, input buffer overflow errors, parity errors and Transmit buffer full errors as specific error messages (rather than a broader error description). - Added the /k command line so the user can specify not to delete HDD test files if an error occurs. - Increased Activity trace level 1 error logging for Serial port testing. - Increased Activity trace level 1 error logging for Hyper threading detection. - Bundled a new version of the Rebooter program. - Improved the Serial port error logging (displaying baud rate) and increased Activity trace level 1 error logging (displaying erroneous data). - Modified the Window sizes to help improve navigation on smaller displays (i.e. 640x480). - The CPU load for the Standard and Torture RAM tests has been made more linear with the duty cycle setting. Note: This means that compared to the previous build of BurnInTest, less RAM test operations will be run per second (when the duty cycle is less than 100). - Additional debug code and very minor changes in the Loopback sound test. - The Post test option of "Run external application and exit" has been modified such that if no external file is specified, this Post test option will just exit BurnInTest. - Allowed the full range of PassMark USB1 loopback plugs to be used with BurnInTest Professional. - Added additional Activity Trace level 2 logging. - The delay inserted between packets in the USB2 test, when the duty cycle is less than 50, has been changed from at least 1ms to at least 1ms to 50ms (for a Duty Cycle of 49 down to 0). - The subscript commands to configure BurnInTest from an external application (i.e. specified in the bit-script-input.txt file and run by specifying either a pre-test or EXECUTEWAIT application) has been changed to allow "LOAD" commands (in addition to "SET" scripting commands). - Renamed the "Error" log to "Event" log. - Changed the order of the items in an Event log line, such that the Severity is the first item. - The EXECUTEWAIT script command has been modified such that the external application may provide an input script file (of SET... commands) to be run after the EXECUTEWAIT application closes. This allows external applications to define test environment parameters (such as the serial number and machine type). - Added scripting commands: SETSERIAL "1234-shdfgdhs-GHGHG" SETMACHINETYPE "HP XPS800" SETNOTES "Test notes defined by the external application." SETLOG "\Program Files\Plugin\plugin_log" SETPLUGIN "\Program Files\Plugin\plugin.exe" - Added POST TEST application parameter substitution to allow values to be passed to an external application at the end of a test. These are: $RESULT - "PASS" or "FAIL" will be substituted. $SERIAL - The serial number will be substituted. $MACHINETYPE - The machine type will be substituted. $NOTES - The notes will be substituted. - Added extra logging for memory allocation errors in the disk test - Added "log bad sector increase" and "bad sector threshold" options to disk test. This resulted in a change to the configuration file format and required additional code to automatically convert from old formats. - Modified the user interface in the preferences window for the disk test and the CD test - Improved the handling of USB 2.0 loopback plugs recovery from sleep states. BUG CORRECTIONS - Corrected a bug where the System and Application events logged in the BurnInTest Trace logs were wrong if the event log had reached its maximum size. - Checks that the Sound test files (WAV and MIDI) exist have been added. - The continuous auto updating of the USB image (USB Loopback plug vs. USB 2.0 Loopback plug) on the main window has been removed. This is now updated on BIT startup, selecting Refresh in USB preferences or on starting a test. If there is a serious USB problem, this (together with the USB 2.0 Loopback device driver, V2.0.1002) will avoid the possibility of BurnInTest locking up. - Corrected a bug with the Butterfly seek mode of the Disk test. This was found to occur with FAT32 disks where the Cylinder size was relatively small and the Sector size relatively large. - Reset Defaults on the Configuration Page now resets the Auto Stop Value. - Reset Defaults on the Configuration Page now resets the color indicators. - The CD test has been modified to skip invalid files either with "?"'s , to avoid reporting errors that are due to the CD test media filenames. - The Network test results window scroll bar has been corrected. - The Memory torture test could fail on some systems with a small amount of RAM and relatively high memory fragmentation. This has been corrected. - Scripting correction for .cmd files. - Corrected a bug that caused problems when running the disk test with SMART monitoring turned on. This problem only occurs on a small number of HDD's. - Corrected memory leaks - On occasion, the measured waveform from the loopback sound test may have been slightly altered on starting or stopping all tests, possibly enough to trigger an error. This has been resolved. - If an error occurred in the final second of a test, the error may have been logged but not included in the big PASS/FAIL results window. This has been corrected. - After running a script file that loaded a configuration file, that had a full path specified, the Save and Load configuration menu options no longer worked. This has been corrected. - Previously, the Version of BurnInTest was only written in the First log file after starting BurnInTest. This log line is now written in all log files. - For USB2 tests that have read or write failures, the Windows error codes are now included in the level 2 Activity trace log. - Command line parameters may now be passed to a PreTest application. - Log files may now use a single static filename. This may be useful when the log file is to be parsed by an external program. - Corrected a bug where the Plugin test would stop prematurely. - Corrected the specification of the Scripting EXECUTEWAIT filename. - Changed Script processing such that a script is aborted if a scripting error is encountered and Stop on error is selected. - Added an indication on the main window that a script is currently running ("Script currently running"). - Corrected the serial port test to identify non-existing plugs when the Disable RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR testing has been selected. - Corrected the display of strange results (666666) reported by a user, related to copy protection. - Fixed a memory leak bug in the MBM interface which caused memory allocation errors. - Added BIT version number to the ASCII log file. - Fixed a bug with the 3D Test that was causing it to stop before the autostop timer period - Changed an error in the tape drive test to a warning if tape drive doesn't support setting drive parameters.
