YJE PSU cannot really be teste by the PC itself. For the static
voltages "sensors" us enough, but the static voltages do not
tell you enough.

or how could you use an existing live CD to do that?
You could test most stuff that can be tested by the PC itself
with Knoppix.
There is smartmontools to check hard drives hardware anything like
that to check other parts of a PC?
"sensors" (was lm-sensors) for voltages and temperatures.
memtest86+ (Knoppix boot option) for system RAM.
Use "cat /dev/urandom | bzip2 > /dev/null" and monitor CPU temperature
for a time (10 minutes) to thest the CPU's cooling.
"badblocks" for a read-only test of drives that do not support SMART,
e.g. flash memory sticks.
There may be other possibilities.
