Mersenne Prime Search http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ is what I use. It can really stress a system.

Yeah I forgot about that. Anything that is doing some type of DC computing will cook a system. I do BOINC stuff and that will tax all four of my cores to 100 percent.

well to be honest and i prolly sound like a noob to you guys or what not but yeah.. i used the mersenne one and did the benchmark test and seemed to "pass" that nothing really happened i used the sandrasoft one too and everything seemed fine

(correction on the problem) i can stay at the screen of character selection for EQ.. its when i click create and choose a different race is when it restarts i can chill at the main character screen for god knows how long.. ( if that makes any difference) i also took the upgraded graphics off the models cept the val shir ( if thats how you spell them lol i dont remember.

but yeah thank you guys for takin time to help me out.. even though i think im just going to have to throw this comp out haha
