Hey mates, I just wanted to show you some useful applications and tools, maybe some of them are useful to you as well...
Notes:
The Boot-CDs/Images can also be booted from USB-Stick.
Many listed stuff has 32-bit(x86) and 64-bit(x64) versions, so watch out!
All applications and tools are for free, there is a purchasable version of MemTest86, but you're fine with the free version(s).
