Stress testing Windows 7

[sambat2000]

Hi, I have a PC that blue screens on occasions, and have run burn-in/stress tests on the hardware with no issues. I am thinking that the problem is with Windows, a possible driver or?
All drivers are up to date and the Windows install is fresh so I am scratching my head here.
Can anyone suggest a programme that with stress test windows, rather than me sat trying different programs that will cause the pc to blue screen?
Thanks

I doubt the base Windows 7 installation is the issue. Provide a complete list of components: motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU and anything else that you may have connected to it. Also provide the bugcheck code(s). You can't stress test an OS, you can only stress test the hardware.

When does it crash? If in games, first thing to check is the video card. If outside of games, since you already did a clean Windows setup, I'd try the RAM.

Sorry to use up your time I have found what the problem is/was.
While I was waiting for the last test to finish, so I could answer GhislainG, I rammed the tests up to 100% across the board and got a GPU failure.
On restart it runs really slow, so I presume its overheating. Its the bin for this motherboard!
Thanks guys

GPU is the video card, why are you tossing the motherboard? Or did you test the video card in another system and think the issue is with the PCIe slot? If you have onboard video, it could be the CPU also not the motherboard.

Yes, the GPU is integrated onto the mobo. I have another mobo setup spare that will fit so I'll just install that one, it is not a very hi-spec system anyway so not really worth the time doing any further troubleshooting and wasting time on it. The spare mobo should work ok.
Thanks for your time though
