When you first turn the computer on listen for beeps. The beeps are POST (power on self test) letting you know the status of the hardware during startup.

*The easiest and cheapest tool to do this would be a Motherboard Tester. The tester plugs into a PCI slot and runs a diagnostic test on the Motherboard board during POST. They can be found on auction sites like EBay for under $10 (US)
