Re: PC testing software

On my system I have a folder C:\WINDOWS\Minidump where I usually find the
minidump data.

Unfortunately, I have always had difficulty interpreting it.
Hopefully Lucas will shed some light ;-)

Power Supply test: Ah, that makes sense.

Analyze minidumps: Are you referring to minidumps created by OCCT? Or
created when the BSOD happened? I'm not aware of any dumps created by
either.

The Power Supply test just runs all the tests in parallel, maximizing
the power demand.

Supply test. It looks suspiciously like the "GPU:OCCT" test that I ran

for

a few minutes yesterday just to see what it was. Is this right? I'm

it's

not doing the graphics while minimized.

Yes, since this is a graphics test, it must run in the foreground. All
the other tests (CPU, RAM) run in the background.

The fact that your machine survived a few rounds of IntelBurnTest
would suggest to me that it's not a CPU/Mainboard/RAM Problem, which
makes debugging this a lot harder.

It might make sense to analyze the minidumps created.
