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.

Changelog:

Two 2D Video memory test crash bug workarounds implemented. Crashes in (i) DirectX DirectShow and (ii) ATI atiumdag.dll library.

When BurnInTest crashes, it will not generate a "minidump" file. Minidumps will need to be sent to Microsoft as per the normal process. However, a log entry will be added to the normal BurnInTest log where possible.

Note: We have seen a report of the Video Playback failing (crash) due to a faulty video codec, ffdshow.ax. If you are using this we suggest you try a different test Video file and codec.

Changes to trace logging to reduce activity when trace logging is not turned on.

Corrected a bug where BurnInTest would fail to start if Activity trace level 2 logging (debug level logging) was turned on and the Logging Summarize option was also selected.

A hang on startup has been corrected. A 2 minute timeout has been added to the collection of system information.

Video playback, Hard disk and CD/DVD test 'no operations' error reporting changed.

Changed the 2D test to wait for the Video Playback test in order to allow memory allocation for the Video playback test.

Changed the Memory test to wait for the Video Playback test and 3D test to allow memory allocation for these tests.

Minor correction to the Butterfly seek test.

Minor change to the serial port test where, if "Disable RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR test phase" was selected the DTR and RTS lines would be explicitly disabled to prevent any toggling of these lines. Previously these where enabled, but not explicitly toggled.
