Deep soak test on laptop
Posted: Mon May 09, 2022 4:24 pm
I have a fairly-new HP lappy here, property of my daughter, which has been randomly crashing (Lappy, not daughter).
I've now done the traditional stuff, updated windows & ms office, had the back off, removed the ssd and the memory, cleaned the contacts, and carefully reseated 'em.
I think it *might* have done the trick, but you never know until it crashes again... all you can say for now is 'it ain't crashed yet.'
So, the next thing is to put it on a test, doing fairly intensive work over, say, a 36-hour period, getting warm and so on. Are there any test programs out there I could use?
