Download PassMark BurnInTest 6.0 build 1029

PassMark Software has released version 6.0 build 1029 of BurnInTest. This program puts the various parts of the computer to work in order to test the reliability and stability of the system. The software is available in a standard version and a professional edition, the latter of which is available in both a 32 and 64-bit version. The professional edition supports testing of more hardware, including tape drives and parallel, serial and USB ports. In addition, the memory tests in the Pro version are more extensive. More information about the differences between them is here to find. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 6.0 build 1029:

• Some CPU speed information is now not collected when the command line parameter ‘-W’ (minimize system information collection) is used. Some systems, eg a customer’s Windows Embedded Standard system, explicitly flags support of the mechanism used, but doesn’t support it. This leads to a BSOD on startup (STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, …) intelppm.sys).
• Corrected a crash on startup for a particular system (related to the collection of SMBIOS system information).
• Corrected a crash in Preferences->Sound when a non existent file name is manually entered.
• An explicit 1.5GB limit on the amount of video memory that 32-bit BurnInTest will test has been added. This is due to limitations with the default configuration of 32-bit Windows. On 64-bit systems, 64-bit BurnInTest should be used where this limit does not exist for BurnInTest and other applications.
• Added a new video playback error for CPU usage exceeded for audio playback when certain sound effects are enabled. Added additional details for a set of audio events during video playback.
• Improved the detection of the number of CPU cores when the “CPUID limit” BIOS setting is enabled (not the normal setting).
• Corrected a minor resource (handle) leak with the Optical drive test when non-PassMark optical media is used and the test detects and reports errors. This could potentially cause system problems during the test if a very large number of Optical drive errors are found.

Changes in version 6.0 build 1028:

• Improved system information for Intel 2nd generation i3, i5 and i7 CPUs (Sandy Bridge).
