I am now wondering if I should simulate a load to get the CPU a bit
warmer and the SSD a bit more active.

Use the "stress" command and use lm-sensors or PSensors to monitor the
CPU temperature. Do the same for the GPU with glmark2.
My daily driver, some years back, seemed to develop random
halts/reboots. Mainly running under W7.
After some inconclusive testing I put it to one side and moved to
another PC.
Now I am looking at juggling cases, mother boards and PSUs to fit in my recent eBay purchase of a graphics card, I am running up my older
systems to see how they fare.
This system (in the Home Theatre case) has W7 installed in two locations (according to the Linux boot loader) and Linux.
I am running it under Linux for the moment.
I think I had a couple of unplanned reboots when I wasn't watching (but
can't be sure this wasn't Linux catching up on years of missed updates)
so I decided to try and recall my shell programming skills.
I now have one terminal window in a "while true" loop redirecting
"uptime"
to a log file.
The other terminal window has a "tail -f" on the log file.
This has been running for over 6 days now without any apparent hiccup,
but with a load average of 0.
I am now wondering if I should simulate a load to get the CPU a bit
warmer and the SSD a bit more active.
Any suggestions for simple activities which could do this?

glmark2 isn't in my version of Ubuntu.
Do you have an alternative?
[Can't recall the distribution name at the moment.]
