Hi all,
A work colleague has asked me if I know of any software that would help him check if any component on his PC is broken or not working fine...
I own a Lenovo and therefore I use the "Lenovo System Health" to do those checks.
Do you know of any free and working software that could help him knowing if something is going wrong?
Thank you all.

Some tools:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool[^]: For RAM but runs for long time and might therefore also fail upon other hardware defects.
H2testw | heise Download[^] (German link but the software allows selection of English language): Test utility for drives (hard disks, USB drives/sticks, memory cards).
For hard disks search the web for SMART utilities (e.g. HDD Health).
GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility[^]: GPU info and test utility.
Don't forget the BIOS. The health page provides information on voltages, temperatures, and fan speed. You can also enable SMART failure detection (HDD SMART data are checked upon boot).

Memtest86 for ram, and prime95 in stress testing mode for Ram+Cpu+Cooling. A SMART code reader can see some indications of an HDD/SDD approaching failure; but a lot of failure modes for both are sudden death.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I use HWMonitor, mostly to view temps. When they start getting over 175F, like they are now, it's time for a good cleaning.

Prime95 for CPU, Furmark for GPU, Windows' own memory test for RAM.

My web site logs errors and sends an email message describing the problem in somewhat obscure language.
I am occasionally receiving messages typified by that below.
Is this the type of message one might receive if someone was attempting to hack into the web site?
Message
This is an invalid script resource request.

It is just an error-message. But to answer the question, yes, could be proof of Russian hackers.
I'd assume you verify the query-strings' correctness before doing something with it?

Thanks for your response. Yes, the query string works fine. The database is accessed through entity framework and upon investigation I've seen no evidence that the code has been tampered with or the database compromised. It's just that I keep getting messages like or similar to this. My site doesn't get a lot of attention, I'm about the only one using it other than that suggested by these error messages

Most error-messages indicate an error, not a hacker. If you want to know what is causing it, then check your connection-logs. Probably some bot trying to index your website.

Wrong forum.
Moreover, this is not the first time I see your question. If you did not get any answer at first, it may be because no one is able to tell you whether or not your site is being hacked from the information you provided.

Yes, I did pose the question in "Quick Answers" and immediately got a response that the question was incomprehensible. I have no idea as to how to improve a one line question "Is this typical of what one might expect if someone was trying to hack my site"? If, as you say, there was not enough information provided to make an assessment a courteous response might be; "I can't provide an opinion from the information you provided".
Thanks anyway for interest, I'm just trying to understand if this is what to expect if someone's trying to hack into a web site.

If there was something to be expected, we could automate it. In that case, your computer wouls state (like any decent machine from Hollywood) that it is being hacked. Open your eventlog, and take a look at the errors there.
If you are hacked, you'll know soon enough - the thing to focus on would be prevention. Is your computer up to date? Is the mvp-hostfile up to date? Any ports open on the firewall that need not be?
