Last Tuesday a guy brought back a refurb I sold him 5 days earlier, said the machine froze every time he opened Chrome, and the whole time it was one bad RAM stick I never would have caught if I had just run memtest86 overnight like the tech at the shop on Speedway kept telling me to do, so now I test everything for 12 hours before it leaves my bench and I want to know what burn-in tools you all swear by.
