Well, you can actually try the RTM if 7, it gives you some indication of how the real retail version would work on your PC

Is everything on stock settings?

Wow, I forgot about this. I am sorry everyone.
Anyway, my friends system has been running fin for the past 3 months.
Everything is on stock settings in the BIOS, he doesnt want to play around with that stuff.
He recently moved, and I helped. When I got his PC hooked back up, I left it running the Intel Burn In Test for about an hour.
No issues, and actually after that I loaded a temp monitor, and ran the test again. The CPU ran a little cooler leaving me to believe that the thermal past was still settling in, and when it got to hot it crashed.
He wasn't doing anything stressful on the system, it has been me doing horrible things to heat the system up.

I would push him to run pointless stress tests and benchmarks, but he never really did. Well, until Win 7 was installed and he say his system run Crysis.
