    stress prime 2004 orthos edition is one to test stability, 12 hours min, 24 hours and you pretty much know its stable.

    memtest.

    theres shedloads of gaming benchmarks, leave one of them looping overnight after you have done the prime tests.

    I usually run 2 instances of prime 95 - one with small ffts, one with large - while running 3dmark05/06 on a loop. Guaranteed to stress your PC.
