Hello,

Can anyone recommend a hardware diagnostics package for PCs?
This would include testing RAM, hard drives etc.
I have seen a few commercial packages in the $300 to $500
range but something simpler and cheaper would be nice.
Any suggestions (or recommendations for the commercial
packages)?

Thanks

Try "diag378.exe", downloadable for free from
ftp://ftp1.dell.com/diags . After a few complaints, will run
on most non-Dell computers.

Memtest86 is still the standard for RAM.

Thanks Bob,

Have tried. Very elegant program and hopefully thorough as well.
