I don't use standby, so only the LCD monitor turns off and idle. I am beginning to think it might be a power supply thing. It's a home-made computer.

The latest failure came when I was playing music on iTunes, and the screen turned black (green light on LCD turned to the inactive orange). The music kept playing for like 15 seconds, then when I moved the mouse, it screeched and I had to restart it. During the restart process, it paused at the loadup screen (recognizing the internal parts) 3 times.

Is there a diagnostic program somewhere that can run tests on all hardware to determine the health of a piece. I have a hard drive monitoring program that provides detailed feedback but I was wondering if there was an all-purpose program that could let you know which pieces of hardware are nearing death.
