Otherwise generic software does exist, I used to use speedfan, but its probably discontinued by now. Make sure prime95 and/or furmark are running as your PSU is probably fine for idle loads. Both would be best if you can get them both to launch at once.
Jan 16 at 19:15 comment added Craig W. Tried all of those things except monitoring the voltage as I don't have a tool to do that. Ran prime95 for two hours and furmark for two hours, then chkdsk on both disks. No errors reported. Rebooted my computer and 30 minutes later it was locked up again.
