Best 5 Programs to Test Your Computer Parts

When we say "computer components", we mean the basic devices or the main resources on which the computer relies at work, including the central processor, hard disk, random memory, and graphic card. Without any part of these devices, the computer will not work permanently. With the passage of time and the period of use, the efficiency of each part begins to be reduced by royd until you need to buy a brand new device. But before you consider buying a new computer, or even if you upgrade some of these parts like buying random memory (RAM) is new, or when observing strange behavior during use - whatever the circumstances, you need to test computer components to ascertain their condition if they are intact or deteriorating, as well as expose their capabilities and maximum possibilities so they can compare their speed with other models. You can do this simply through the software we will review with you in this article and compatible with all versions of Windows OS.

How is Bench Mark done to test computer components?

We do not mean "computer components test" to detect the physical condition of each part of the computer by viewing it through the transparent window of the PC bag or after dismantling the lower cover of the top. What we mean is to test the actual performance of this device, whether the processor, the ramp, the screen card or the hard drive, and this is done by Bench Mark software that makes multiple operations to press the tested part until the maximum performance and efficiency is detected. There is no single program that fully tests computer components. You will need a separate program for each part because the method of testing Ramat is different from, for example, the method of testing the processor. However, below are the strongest available programs to rely on for tests.

Program 1: Memtest86

The Memtest86 program is one of the most popular computer testing tools, specifically random memory. This is because it is completely free and works on any operating system is self-functioning, as well as easy to use both for novice and professional users. The program's working mechanism depends on it writing some random data on memory and then re-reading it again and reading the original data with the written data, and then checking that the memory accepts the writing of all data and keeps it correctly without losing anything, and is therefore classified as sound and does not contain errors. Surely this process will take a lot of time to complete; It mostly takes 30 minutes or an hour depending on the speed and volume of memory used in your computer. Let's discuss how to use it in the next lines:

First, you will need to connect the USB flash to the computer provided that it is empty and does not have any files, then head to the program download link [attached below] which will download a compressed file on your device. Unzip the file to extract its contents, including the "imageUSB.exe" executive file. Double-click it to run the image USB by PassMark. Through this window, mark (✔) first next to the flash connected to the device from the top, then select Write the image to the USB drive in the second step, then press the Write button in the last step to start the program burning process on the flash (the process takes one minute).

After the program burns on the flash, adjust the BIOS settings in the computer or laptop so that the flash takes off instead of the operating system. Then, you will see the start screen of Memtest86 and similar software as shown in the picture above. All you have to do is move the mouse cursor to click the "Config" button.

The software will now start by showing detailed information about your computer components such as processor, hard disk, and especially random memory. It will tell you the size of the actual rams, the model of the used chip, the manufacturer... etc. All this information is useful and you should know it, but the most important is to hit the "Start Test" button, which is green on the left-hand side, and then the memory test will start right away.

The test will start and two progress tapes will show you at the top on the right, each tape tells you how far the current test has progressed and how far the test kit has passed. Presumably, four full tests are performed unless you exit the program after the message "Pass complete, no errors" shows you that Ramat is in good condition and contains no errors. But if a message appears in red, it indicates that Ramat has a problem and you should buy another new RAM chip to improve computer performance.

Program 2: CPU-Z

The CPU-Z software can be considered as one of the core programs that the user must download and use for different purposes especially after the processor speed is broken to verify its status. The size of the software is very simple and does not need to be installed, once you turn it on you will show detailed information about the processor used in your computer on the main interface such as: the name of the processor, its generation, the amount of energy it consumes, the number of nuclei, the speed of the processor, the technologies it supports... etc. Turning to the Mainboard section will show you information about the mom board such as the version of the bios, the chips installed on them, the sensors available, the graphics interface... and others. You will find many important information in other sections as well.

The most important part of the program here is the Bench section through which you can do a quick test on the processor by pressing the Stress CPU button. Note that the program will show you results indicating that the processor is healthy if the test is 100% completed. But if the "blue screen" appears or the computer is exposed to cramping and agitating so intense that you cannot move the mouse, it indicates that the processor no longer delivers the required efficiency and may need to be upgraded. This is in case you use my desktop computer, whereas if you use a laptop; You have to buy a new laptop because changing the processor will be a hit of fantasy!.

Programme 3: Prime95

We can't lose sight of mentioning Prime95 software in any topic that speaks of computer component testing tools, it's a powerful and important tool to make sure your computer is fully stable and performs maximum possible efficiency. The software is very light in size and does not consume much storage space, it is portable (Portable) and does not need to be installed, and its user interface is very simple. After you first download and run the software, you will hit the Just Stress Testing button and select the "Blend" option and hit the OK.It will then begin testing all computer components, especially Ramat to ensure the stability and stability of computer performance or find weaknesses to be aware whether your device needs maintenance or upgrade of one of the components or not. There is no test limit, but you should let the software work for a long time to say two hours continuously. If your computer can continue working without problems during this period, you can make sure everything is OK and your computer is working properly.

Program 4: FurMark

Whether you've broken the speed of the screen card recently or just want to test the graphic card to check if it's fit to run most modern games, you won't find a better way than FurMark. This software is specially designed to test the computer's graphical processing unit by displaying 3D animations in a variety of ways and knowing the maximum performance that your screen card can offer both indoor and outdoor. Using the software is very easy because of its simple user interface, all you need is to determine the screen resolution of your device whether it's 720p, FHD, QHD or UHD, and then press the GPU stress test button to start testing immediately, here you pay attention to not running any software during the test period. After that, you will be opened the FurMark Geeks3D tool window which will tell you how many points the tested graphics card has scored and also the maximum FPS accessed and maximum temperature recorded, and then display information about the graphic card may benefit you.

Program 5: CrystalDiskMark

CrystalDiskMark is also an important program through which you can test storage media of various types and forms whether hard drive, flash memori, SD card, even CD/DVD storage cylinders. The test here is by conducting a set of transfers and copies on the storage unit so that the result is the speed of reading and writing on this unit. Through the program and before the start of the test you can determine the size of the file you want to be used in the test and then it will begin to show you the results divided by 4 parts each part indicating the results obtained by test type if it is serial or random.
