HeavyLoad v2.4 - Test System Stability By Putting Heavy Load
section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 4.7.2008
If you’re a computer tech person who assembles new computers everyday or even a consumer who just purchased a new computer, it is important to test the system stability by putting heavy load on system resources.
Anyone who has used computers for any period of time will understand the importance of having a stable system. The cost of a hardware failure can be enormous. If you are lucky your data will only become inaccessible while faulty components are replaced. If you’re unlucky you can lose your files completely or have them permanently corrupted. Even if you have good backups, you can still lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state.

When I ordered a dedicated server from Softlayer, they too ran a stress test using Passmark BurnInTest to make sure that the server’s hardware are stable before handing the server to me. Passmark BurnInTest is a very good PC reliability and load testing software but it is not free. Here is a free tool called HeavyLoad which you can easily use to test your system stability.
HeavyLoad is intended to stress all resources of a PC (like CPU, RAM, harddisk, network, operating system, etc.) in order to test, if it will run reliable under heavy load. This is useful for testing important file or database servers before using them productively, or just to check if your new PC might get too hot when used intensively.
