Software update: Passmark BurnInTest 8.1 build 1012

PassMark Software has released an update to version 8.1 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, with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions available for download. The professional edition offers additional testing capabilities for 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 version 8.1 build 1009, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 8.1 build 1012

• Fixed some clipping issues with the OK/Error buttons in the webcam test
• Fixed a bug stopping a script or test from finishing correctly when running the webcam test
• Fixed a bug preventing the MAC address of network cards being displayed in the system information
• Fixed a bug where the fullscreen resolution setting when running the 3D test in fullscreen (non windowed) mode was being ignored and the test would run at the default resolution

Changes in version 8.1 build 1011

• Added extra logging on memory verification errors
• Added IP addresses display for network cards in system information
• Added simple HTTPS authentication entry method to the management console, a windows username/password entry dialog will be displayed when authentication is required
• Made some changes to log less 2D errors for memory corruption (eg if driver crashes). Instead of logging an error for each 4 byte address failure will now log one error with a total count in the error message
• Fixed a bug where if a script was automatically stopped on an error condition (using “SETERRORS ACTION stop”) it would flag the stop as a manual (not auto) stop which would cause a message box prompt to be displayed before running a post test application rather than launching it automatically.

Changes in version 8.1 build 1010

• Added BIOS serial number to system information display
• Fixed a MIDI error in windows 10 that was caused by the system information library used by BurnInTest when reading hard disk temperatures
• Corrected a display and test start issue when loading a config file with “Auto select” hard drives enabled
