Computer component testing software, even if you can find it, won't prevent hardware damage. Maybe you should consider a UPS or other power management hardware that will even out any power surges and brownouts.

Hi folks,
What I am seeking is an open source program that tests aspects of say your
motherboard. that the serial ports or parallel ports work, that the USB
ports are sound etc.
I am asking because due to an as of yet not fixed hydro problem in my new
apartment, the occasional power surges, even with machines attached to
protectors, are causing slight damage to hardware.
Need to know how much as I only have so many computers I can use.
Any program ideas?
Will be sharing suggestions with someone hopefully helping me
troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Karen
