memtest 8 hours
super pi mod
orthos blend 8 hours
3dmark0x 3 hours in a loop
scandisk thoroughly
windows 24/7 after driver & software installs (log out & in if memory leaks)

Last but not least, act like you forget to close your fave programs/games & walk away. However, it'll probably be bugs rather than system stability if they crash/freeze up.
