At work I've been given a test bench and a rather large pile of allegedly broken stuff.
The first board I've put together - an Asus P5B-SE/Core2Quad Q6600 processor/Generic PCi video card works, in as much as it boots up and complains there's no operating system.

I'd like something on a USB stick that can can be used for a bit of testing. Maybe a suite of tests that cover Memory/CPU/GPU/Disk that shows a report at the end?

I've got a range of components to test. I'd like not to be costing anyone downtime by putting sub-standard components back into workstations, but at the same time it doesn't make sense to get this stuff disposed of, untest.

Cheers

Something Linux based will be best. Can't remember if Ubuntu comes with memtest86 (think it does). There'll be lots you can get if you google what sort of things you want.
 
what you trying to test? if you want to test ram then i suppose a USB memtest is ok. but if you want to test other things you really need an OS. put a small HDD in it and install a trial version of windows 7/vista whatever system you need. then download a whole world of free benchmarks

Also memtest and dos based HDD are stability tests they won't give you benchmarks. If you want benchmark and stability tests u need OS.

It's more stability than anything else.

It's funny, last night I came to the conclusion re: using a HDD with an OS and a suite of utils on it.
