Does anyone know where I can get some electronic gadetry to test individual components in the PC?
Heard you can get a PSU tester that monitors the current, also a memory card tester and soforth. Hope I am clear in what I'm asking. Thanks in advance
The world is full of willing people, some are willing to work, others are willing to let them; just a thought!

Plenty of site that offer such products. PSU test and monitor are quite cheap. If you want to move into a RAM tester you are looking at a LOT of money. For the top ones you can pay over $3,500 yes $3,500 and MORE. If you really want a full pro RAM tester start thinking in terms of $5,000 plus. If, I had to buy one, ( and not use the one I do ) I wouldn't even look at one below $3,000. With that type of equipment you get what your pay for. Stick to memtest. it's cheaper and will give you all you need for home use when testing ram.

The most capable and versatile test equipment I know of is another computer. It can test everything one part at a time.
