Software update: Passmark BurnInTest 8.1 build 1020

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 build 1018, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 8.1 build 1020

• Changed “Operating system” in the HTML customer certificate to “Test operating system” and will only print customer and technician fields if they are filled in
• Enabled 8b/10b error reporting in USB3 test
• Made some changes to better track when USB3 devices are connected or disconnected (eg forced disconnection by error) during testing
• Fixed a possible 32bit overflow error when displaying the sent and received byte count for USB3 test operations
• Fixed a USB3 issue when device is enumerated due to high number of link layer errors (more than 64 link layer errors per 100msec)
• Fixed a bug in USB2 test where inbuffer/outbuffer was overwritten by IOCTL_EZUSB_GET_LAST_ERROR after read/write failure which caused some trace logging inconsistencies
• Fixed a scripting bug where numbers with decimal points were not being parsed correctly (like disk test file size)

Changes in version 8.1 build 1019

• Now properly signalling a manual stop to the script so post test actions will be followed correctly, previously all stops during a script were treated as “Automatic”
• Fixed a bug when USB3 plug fails benchmark mode in USB high-speed mode, this could cause an error if using the USB3 plugs on a USB2 port when the test switched from benchmark to loopback
• Reduced the amount of time the 2D test will wait between tests when on a low duty cycles
• Fixed a window redraw issue where the 2D lines and bitmaps test was not always updating correctly after the lines test on some systems
• Fixed some display issues (wrong hard drive letter shown) sometimes when a test config was created from default or moved between system with different disk setups
