This post contains several procedures to check out if the main components of a system (CPU, RAM and graphics adapter) are stable. BIOS settings also have their influence on the results, so although BIOS settings are not hardware by themselves, they can have a lot of influence on a system'...

Hey everyone, I'm a composer/producer looking to build a slave machine to run my virtual instruments. I put together a build at CyberPowerPC, at first thinking I'd just use a PC slave, but then the thought occurred to me : why not try to run it as a Hackintosh and make things simpler? And so...
