as to memory... just google for memtest86

For memory / CPU / timing:

MemTest86
MemTest86+ (
www.memtest.org)
Prime95 (www.mersenne.org)

While the memtest86 programs are good, they often miss
out on diagnosing timing issues (where the PC checks out
fine, but then bluescreens when playing). Prime95 is an
old trade-secret, it's not even a burn-in/test program,
but the calculations that it performs are very
CPU/memory intensive. As a result (and since it self-
checks) it will often throw errors on hardware that
other diagnostic software gave a clean bill-of-health
to.
