Download PassMark BurnInTest 7.0 build 1002

PassMark Software has released the first update to version 7.0 of BurnInTest. This program puts the various parts of the computer to work 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 of which is available in both a 32 and 64-bit version. The professional edition supports testing of more hardware, including tape drives and parallel, serial and USB ports. In addition, the memory tests in the Pro version are more extensive. More information about the differences between them is here to find. This release includes support for the developer preview of Windows 8.

Changes in version 7.0 build 1002:

• BurnInTest 7.0 now supports Windows 8 developer preview.
• BurnInTest now uses the PassMark SysInfo SDK to get temperature information.
• The “Collecting system information” progress window was displayed when the “-w” command line parameter was specified (to minimize the amount of system information collected). This has been corrected.
• The “-a” command line parameter has been removed as it does not make sense with BurnInTest 7.0 being run with elevated administrator privileges. Use “-w” to minimize the amount of system information collected.
• BurnInTest could crash on the optical disk test when run with non-PassMark test media, eg when run with a DVD video. This has been corrected.
• BurnInTest could crash on startup on a small number of systems when run in debug mode. ie only when run with the “-u” command line parameter. This has been corrected.
