This is official description

PassMark BurnInTestâ„¢ is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability. Anyone who has used computers for any period of time will understand the importance of having a stable system. The cost of a hardware failure can be enormous. If you are lucky your data will only become inaccessible while faulty components are replaced. If you're unlucky you can lose your files completely or have them permanently corrupted. Even if you have good backups, you can still lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state. In many cases the lost data can never be replaced and businesses can be brought to their knees, with the loss of documentation, customer details and financial records.
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 6.0

BurnInTest from PassMark is a Windows utility that puts all the major hardware sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stressed to test the endurance, reliability and stability of the components just as it would work when running multiple applications and devices.

The program exercises heavily the hardware in a PC in a short period of time. This will bring out hidden problems in order to be fixed, so that only after a successful run the computer can be used with a high level of confidence.

BurnInTest is a software more for testers and administrators than for common PC users. The software is capable of verifying hardware components performance: anything from CPU stability at high clock speeds , hard drive data writing, to sound cards, and graphic cards.

Dozens of new features have been included. The following new features are the most important:

BurnInTest as of this version, can now test Turbo CPUs, and DDR3 RAM type tests are supported. The processor support list has been extended (including new cores from Intel). Furthermore Win 7 native video, HD and 3D video tests are now integrated.

This program definitively tests every piece of hardware on a computer, and is excellent for manufacturers or service repairs to rapidly test multiple machines under customized conditions.
  • Test and fix computer hardware issues in minutes.
  • Tests performance, temperature in anything from CPUs to graphic-cards.
  • Supports almost every processor whether it's Intel, AMD.
  • Supports all Windows versions up to Win 7 64 bits.
  • Should have an automatic disable to avoid system crashes.

What's new in version 7.0

BurnInTest 7.0 now supports Windows 8 developer preview. BurnInTest now uses the PassMark SysInfo SDK to get temperature information. The "Collecting system information" progress window was displayed when the "-w" command line parameter was specified (to minimize the amount of system information collected). This has been corrected. The "-a" command line parameter has been removed as it does not make sense with BurnInTest 7.0 being run with elevated administrator privileges. Use "-w" to minimize the amount of system information collected. BurnInTest could crash on the optical disk test when run with non-PassMark test media, e.g. when run with a DVD video. This has been corrected. BurnInTest could crash on startup on a small number of systems when run in debug mode. i.e. only when run with the "-u" command line parameter. This has been corrected.

What's new in version 6.0

Good idea but so-so implementation so far, waiting to test the last version
