Download PassMark BurnInTest 5.3 build 1005

PassMark Software released a new build of version 5.3 of BurnInTest the day before yesterday. This program puts the proverbial fire to the shins of the various parts of the computer in order to test the reliability and stability of the system. The software is available in a standard and a professional edition, with the latter also available for download in a 32-bit and a 64-bit flavour. The professional edition is able to test more hardware, including tape drives and, for example, the parallel, serial and USB ports. In addition, the Pro version also has more extensive memory tests. More information about the differences between them is here to find. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Changes in release 5.3 build 1005:

• 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.
• When testing multiple disks with the BurnInTest disk test the throughput for dual core systems has been improved.
• 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.
