I use a combination of things...
For personal testing...
Memtest
CPU Burn-in
Video Card Stability test
and whatever flavor of
3D Mark
is appropriate to the system specs
I also run
Prime
for at least overnight
For customers, I like to run
PC Pitstop's
tests so they have a 3rd party estimation of the system as a whole...
As well as some other random options
