I use the Ultimate Boot CD to run whatever tests I need from Dos, therefore ignoring any errors which may be Windows based rather than hardware. It's pretty comprehensive and has a lot of useful utilities on it

Exeperience with maybe Sisoft are probably your best tools, and possibly a multimeter too. That's all I can think of really.

DP - That UBCD looks pretty good, I gave it a try last night.

Some have mentioned a utility called Everest.. I've downloaded that for trial too..

Aida32 might do what you require, it is certainly good at identifying components although I've had no real reason to test it's diagnostics, unfortunately it is no longer being updated but it works well and is free.
