I'm going to buy a used laptop and I need to check the health of the various components of a used Alienware laptop. By this I mean that I want to check if:-

-> it's cpu has heating problem while playing games or doing normal stuff.
-> cpu fan noise
-> it's gpu has heating problem while playing games or doing normal stuff.
-> gpu fan noise
-> Battery health
-> Dead pixel

and other things if I've missed any.

Thank you.

Prime 95 for CPU, Furmark for GPU. Battery health can be checked by leaving these stress tests running for a extended period of time without the charger. Note that these will heat your GPU and CPU more than while you're actually gaming. Dead pixels can be checked by creating a completely white image with paint and then making it full screen in the photo viewer. All dead pixel will appear as black. If the laptop has a HDD, download Speedfan and use the S.M.A.R.T. utility to check HDD health.

EDIT: Use HWMonitor to monitor temps.
