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
