Soak Testing new computer

[bettercomputers]

Does anyone know of a software to Soak Test a brand new computer system booting from a floppy? The one we are using at the moment isnt a good as we might like.

Hmm i doubt you'll get anything that would bench test a modern day system from a floppy disk, certainly not the graphics etc, Best thing i can think of other than non floppy drive system would be something like Sisoft Sandra, I think a new version MAXX3? is out which has got some great burn in/ stress testing utils.

Sorry i can't think of anything to run from floppy disk

i can, memtest86 alhtough imo its easyer to run bootable from a cd

Thats just a memory test, not really a soak test of a new computer tho.

The system doesnt have a CD Drive installed as my customer will fit that themselve when they get the system.

So I need something to run off a floppy

they dont really make full testing programs for floppys anymore.

How about popping a drive in there for the test, then removing it after?

OR getting a USB CD ROM drive if you are doing it for multiple computers - just moving the drive from machine to machine, running a soak test then removing it?.
