BCM Diagnostics Pro, a 32-bit native application manufactured by BCM Advanced Research, is a comprehensive system analysis utility that helps you diagnose problems on PCs running Microsoft's Windows operating systems. It tests almost every PC component and singles out faulty areas. It also provides a native DOS diagnostic program which is capable of analyzing and diagnosing your PC down to the lowest hardware level.

BCM Diagnostics Pro provides a tabbed property sheet that summarizes the overall performance of every component on your PC, including your computer's processor, memory, audio & video cards, modem, graphics display, hard disk, floppy drive, and CD-ROM drive. BCM Diagnostics Pro also includes shortcuts to mouse, joystick, and ScanDisk utilities and settings.

A rigorous Stress Test evaluates your entire system's stability under Windows. It can be scripted to run the test modules individually or concurrently and can also be set up to stop or continue on any error that arises. Passing an overnight burn-in with the Stress Test would give you great confidence in your PC. A periodic diagnosis performed on your PC would ensure that system components operate properly and prevent adverse situations, such as system crashes and/or data loss.

The System Health Monitor is yet another bundled utility that can be launched in the background to periodically check free system resources, available memory and disk space, and CPU usage. If system resources dip below a desired threshold, a warning message is displayed.
