A batch file :loop goto loop also uses 100% CPU and proves about as much. The Self test in Prime95 is an excellent system stabilty test. It thrashes the system processor, cache and memory (always 100% CPU usage for me) and most importantly verifies they functioned correctly. Apparently stable systems do fail running Prime95 which is probably why they felt the need for a built in self test.
