HeavyLoad is a free software for windows which generate some artificial load by running some intensive program in infinite loop like CPU, Memory, hard disk running many programs together at the same time. By monitoring the performance of system under heavy load gives you an overview of your PC in terms of graph.
To stress test PC, HeavyLoad writes a large test file to the temp folder. It then allocates physical and virtual memory and performs complex calculations. Then it draws pattern in windows.
After using HeavyLoad memory of your pc is fragmented heavily so there is a need of restarting your pc after a stress test.

Some of its new features of HeavyLoad are:
- It can be started with command like parameters.
- It has the capacity to allocate more than 2 GB of physical memory.
- It can even set the duration of test, even the speed of memory allocation can also be set.
- The limitation for remaining hard disk capacity and memory can also be defined.
So check the new load testing software HeavyLoad to test the stress and performance of your PC.
