It isn't critical to test that but if you run the overnight torture test and end up with no errors and your CPU doesn't melt, you're guarandamnteed not to have any RAM or CPU-related problems. Then it's down to disc/graphics/network/etc.

Intel Burn Test is an amazing torture program that tests your system for stability. That post is from 2008 but it
was last updated Aug 2011. AgentGod is the author of the program. If your system passes the Maximum
stress level with just the default 5 passes... you should most definitely be good on CPU/RAM. To further test
your RAM you want Memtest86 and you'll need to put that on a bootable USB stick or burn the ISO so that you
can test your memory for hours on end. I tend to skip Memtest unless I'm really out of all other options
because Memtest takes hours and hours and hours to run. Finally, move onto Unigine Heaven which is a free
benchmark to stress test your video card. I recommend on every benchmark to let it run for multiple passes.
If all of these pass then it's time to start looking at your config of the game or ISBoxer.
I left Prime95 running overnight, with no errors.
I'll try the graphics benchmark tonight.
