Testing PC/Desktop software programs ?

xTYZx

I work in a store that buys and sells PCs and laptops. I want to ask the community for a list of free software programs that I can use in my testing as a part of my testing method for when I need to test a system. Basic level of pc performance for CPU, hard drive and the state of the operating system and to check for software/hardware errors.

Hard drive: ATTO benchmark, Crystal Disk (Write speeds aren't that accurate because of windows).
CPU performance: Cinebench, it stresses out the CPU to give you its full potential.
