If you have more questions, please let us know.Hitting the power button of a new PC and watching it boot properly is one of the most satisfying moments of life (at least for computer geeks), especially if you’ve spent days on researching, purchasing, and assembling all parts. The paragraph adds more to the concept that I am trying to share with you, the system can go through a lot of processes while running a intensive CPU task, and as long as the computer does not enter in BSOD's it should be fine. We recommend you disable any power management features such as Intel SpeedStep® technology and configure your system to its optimal power management settings, when Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool." It means that the enabled power management feature is optimizing the efficiency of the processor, either to save power or reduce heat within the system. This does not mean that the processor is operating at degraded performance levels. These types of power management features may result in very low tested frequency results. "Some power management features throttle or reduce the operating frequency of components within the system. There is one more thing that the guide states, see below The processor usage is 100% while running the Burn In Test, background processes can be killed and could make the system have that behavior. This why I believe that the scenario you are facing is normal but at the same time is considered expected. When running the test, I tried to minimize the window but it took a while, this was expected since all the processor resources were used in the test. And, the behavior was not exactly the same as the one you mentioned but it freeze for a couple of times while running the test and at the end of the test the result was passed. I ran test on a Surface Pro 4 which is a mobile platform. That is correct /thread/119601 TSMV, the Burn In Test enables all IPDT features and runs IPDT stress test for 120 minutes. at the very end of the test the monitor started to "flash" for about 20-30 seconds (like the program window was iconized and restored very quickly many times).Īs I said at the end I got a green "Pass" screen. the program entered in a non-responsive status for a few minutes, then continued to run.

the program window disappeared for a few seconds (like it was iconized) then reappeared During the second hour the following events occurred a few times, randomly: So I started the Burn-In test, for at least the first hour I didn't notice anything. I use the integrated processor graphics, by the way. My Mother Board is Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H and I have 8 GB DDR3 RAM installed. I used Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool to test my i7-4790 CPU.Īt first I used the default test and got a green "Pass", I then ran a "Burn-In" test and again I got a green "Pass" but I noticed something and being pretty new to this program I don't know if it's its normal behaviour.
