Software to find hardware errors?

[Trav_X]

I'm looking for some software that will check the performance and the condition of the parts in my MSI laptop. I've been getting a lot of BSOD's with the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION code which I looked up, which says the hardware is failing, the computer is running too hot, or like the connections between components is bad. I want to run a hardware scan just to see if that is what is wrong. If it's hardware, I can always get a new part if it's something like RAM or a hard drive. 

 

LAPTOP: MSI GE72 Apache Pro-242 (hooked up to an external 1080p dual monitor setup so it's running 3840x1080)

 

Id prefer a program that can check EVERYTHING at once, not jsut like 'only the RAM', etc. which is what I see when I googled it. Any hardware monitoring software I can use to find compromises in hardware condition?

Run some traditional stress tests and see how each

component holds up.

 

You can run memtest for memory, prime95 for the cpu.

Unigine heaven/firestrike/furmark for the gpu, do them 

one at a time and look for any errors, potential artifacting

in the instance of the gpu tests. 

 

I don't think there is a simple catchall solution for you.

Remember to monitor temps while stress testing the 

gpu/cpu.

chkdsk for HDD or SSD

Okay, thanks  I'll go check out some of those programs
