Go to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

Download, burn, boot.....

Lots of good diagnostic tools.

FWIW, it found problems with on of my HD's on my laptop.  However, I
made the "mistake" of allowing the utility to fix the problem.  It did
fix the problem....for a while.  But the HD was going bad...and it died
while was on a trip.  I relearned what I already knew.  If a diagnostic
finds HW problems....they are only going to get worse, not better.
