But, how can I put a LOT of load onto it, and see what's causing the problem? For all I know, the motherboard could be faulty, or the CPU, or maybe even the SATA bus?
stress! Configured correctly it will abuse a server pretty hard
http://weather.ou.edu/~apw/projects/stress/ http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/stress/
run like
cd /var/tmp screen -dmS stress screen -rx stress stress --cpu 16 --io 8 --vm 12 --vm-bytes 512M --hdd 4 --hdd-bytes 1G --timeout 86400
Oh and be sure to set a timeout if you run it remotely or you'll lock yourself out ;)
