testing methodology?

I was wondering how everyone tests their systems once they have them
fully assembled. I know a lot of you build systems all the time so is
there any hardware/software that you use for testing your components
before you can safely "forget" where you put the reciepts for your
components and forget about warrantys and exchanges?

never throw way receipts as some are 1 to 3 years in length. Just use
the machine for as many things you have installed. Running unreal
tests never guarantees 'word' won't crash, if you catch my drift.

I know, I am a packrat too for documentation but I just wanted to know
when everyone is sure their system is stable. I guess one never knows
for sure

Prime95 in Torture mode is excellent for seeing just how stable your
system is. Run it overnight.

I keep receipts for a minimum of 3 years.

I've been using the same burn in program since the 90's - it just
makes sure that the system doesn't burp during long continuous
operation.

I looked around and found something similar you might try:

Good luck!
