I think you mean that you want to check the stability of the system. You could use the burn in wizard in SiSoft Sandra or something comparable to that. I don't think there is a Windows software burn in program. You can tell almost immediately if your system is unstable because you will get all kinds of weird prompts,errors and problems in general with the BSOD being the most prevalent.

I normally run prime95 & distibuted.net for 24hours. During the last 12 hours of the burn in period I try and run 3dmark2001 looped for 12 hours. Some people who sell overclocked cpu's around here only use prime95 for 4 hours. Its all about personal preference.

And there you have it. If your computer can go through all that then you should be able to throw a brick at it and not make it crash.

I have SETI running in the background...but I really dont consider that a "burn in" since I have it running all the time...
