Supported operating systems

HeavyLoad runs on the versions of Windows still supported by Microsoft, in 32-bit and 64-bit. The publisher also offers older versions for Windows 7 and Windows XP.

Main features

  1. CPU and RAM stress test: HeavyLoad pushes your machine’s processor (CPU) and memory (RAM) to their maximum to test their stability under extreme load. This lets you check whether your system can handle resource-hungry applications or demanding games without crashing.
  2. Hard drive stress test: the tool simulates completely filling your hard drive to assess its speed and reliability, particularly when storage space is running low.
  3. Graphics test: HeavyLoad includes a graphics test to assess the capabilities of your graphics card (GPU) when it is put under strain by heavy visual applications, such as video games or 3D design software.
  4. Real-time display: the HeavyLoad interface offers clear, detailed real-time graphs showing the use of system resources during the test, including the processor, RAM and hard drives.

Supported hardware

HeavyLoad is compatible with a wide range of hardware, including:

  • Processors (CPU),
  • Hard drives (HDD) and SSDs,
  • Graphics cards (GPU),
  • Memory (RAM).

Licence and use

HeavyLoad is free software for personal and professional use, which makes it an excellent choice for users looking for a reliable stress test at no extra cost.

Conclusion

Whether you are a user concerned about the stability of your machine or a professional wanting to test how robust your servers are under load, HeavyLoad is an essential tool. Easy to use, it lets you test every critical component of your system to make sure it can handle heavy tasks without any problems.

Is your PC failing under load?

A crash, blue screen or restart during the test is often a sign of overheating, a worn power supply or faulty memory. IAV diagnoses and repairs your computer in Luxembourg: see our IT repair service. Describe the symptoms using the contact form.
