Hey guys,
I'm looking for a website that constantly puts a load on the processor. I'm trying to stress a processor to see if that's the reason for a failure. I'm looking for a website that will do it. Note: this computer cannot install exe files or programs.

This is exactly it. Unfortuntely it doesn't work. I press the start test button but it does nothing to the cpu load even when set to 100%. |

Going into AVS with default settings and without logging in can stress things a bit.

I tried it - My machine (or at least my internet connection) is SLOW...
56 mbps download
46 mbps upload
How does one improve this?

Wired. Not sure how to do inter-network transfers and measure the speed.

I understand that there's a lot faster stuff but why do you think that's slow? My connection is 15 mbps download with a 6 mbps upload. 4k Video requires 25 mbps lines. Regular HD video is about 5 mbps and dvd quality streaming video is 3 mbps I think. There used to be a time in the last decade that most hard drives couldn't acheive 50 mbps speed. But the answer is to buy a faster connection. |

It’s only slow if you’re plan says you should be getting faster service. As garbulky says, many of us have much slower connections, at least yours can handle all of the current 4K video streams. I’d love to be able to have those speeds. |

You are only as fast as the slowest link between you and the destination. Have different speed test sites shown the same results? |

Have different speed test sites shown the same results? ... and I ask again, how does testing help if you don’t know what your plan is supposed to deliver?. If Boomzilla is paying his ISP for 50 Mbps service, then 56 Mbps is pretty good! If my car is supposed to get 30 MPG and I get 35 then I’m happy, but if I get 30 I shouldn’t be upset. If I’m supposed to get 50 MPG then I have reason to be concerned. We need to know the spec before we can judge whether the system is meeting it or not. This is independent of the judgement we might make about what is necessary to be happy with our online experience. |

Do it the right way and get proper access to the machine. It's going to be really difficult (impossible?) to properly diagnose a hardware problem with a web browser. Everything running in a web browser is sandboxed and doesn't have full access to the hardware. You want standard tools like prime95, memtest, 3dmark, Intel extreme tuning, etc.
