Download PassMark BurninTest 6.0 build 1002

PassMark Software has released the first update for BurninTest version 6.0, which was released two and a half weeks ago. 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 version and a professional edition; the latter can again be downloaded in both a 32-bit and a 64-bit flavour. The professional edition is able to test more hardware, including tape drives, the parallel and serial ports, and the 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 and improvements:

Changes in version 6.0 build 1002:

• Added a new menu option for installing BurnInTest to a USB drive.
• Evaluation of BurnInTest from a USB drive installation (or a BartPE installation) no longer requires a trial license key.
• When BurnInTest is run from a USB drive, the default user directory is now automatically changed to the BurnInTest directory on the USB drive (the “/p” option required in V5.x is no longer needed for this scenario).
• The Video Playback test now supports .wmv files, and by default Windows Vista sample files are selected when Vista is used.
• Improved CPU information detection and display (particularly for newer AMD CPUs).
• Running a Post-Test batch file (.bat) application now supports user specified parameters such as $RESULT. Previously this was only supported for executables (.exe).
• Correction to the check whether there is a new version of BurnInTest available.
• Correction for the Parallel port test failing on 2nd and subsequent runs in certain circumstances.
• Minor corrections and improvements.
