Once your system has been built, it's taken to a testing bay and for it's first test using QuickTech Pro software from UXD which is the PC diagnostic software preferred by professional technicians world-wide. The software is operating system independent, which allows the program to directly access the hardware, bypassing DOS or Windows, for the fastest and most accurate testing possible. QuickTech PRO solves this problem by quickly & accurately isolating hardware issues. QuickTech PRO will put a system through the most vigorous diagnostics available, performing complete testing on: Motherboard, Processor(s), Memory, Storage Drives, Video Graphics Card, Peripherals and I/O Devices.
Every component in the system is fully tested.
Hard Drive Tests
- Full Sector Read
-
Full Sector Write
- Controller
Motherboard
-
DMA Controller
- CMOS Settings
- CMOS RAM
- Real-Time Clock
- System Timers
- Serial/PS2/Parallel/USB/Lan
Memory
- 6 Different Patterns
- Pseudo-Random
- Xor'ed Address
- Bit Test (Short & Long)
- Grid Test (Short & Long)
CPU, Optical Drive, Floppy Drive, Sound & VGA are all tested.
If the motherboard has a paraellel printer port the results are printed and included with your PC.
Stage 2
We install the operating system of your choice and install all the drivers for each component in your system. If you have purchased a PC without an operating system we install Windows XP for testing this stage which is then wiped after the testing has finished.
Following this we then install PassMark BurnInTest. PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability. BurnInTest does a thorough exercise on the hardware in a PC in a short period of time, in the same way as normal applications use a PC over a long period of time. This takes advantage of the fact that computer hardware tends to fail either very early in its life or after many thousands of hours of use so this program simulates you using the PC for at least 30 days and all this is tested in a 24 hour BurnIn period. Once this has passed the application is removed from the PC.
Stage 3
The PC is then shutdown and left while the hardware cools down. Which allows step3 testing to be done once the hardware has been started again from cold.
Stage 4
The PC is then started up and set to automatically startup, load to the desktop, then restart it's self. This is set to reboot 250 times which is to simulate you starting and stopping the PC over 250 times.
Stage 5
After passing these test the PC is then set to optimised settings such as the correct desktop resolution. Once all this has been done your system is then sent into quality control for final inspection.
