Measuring the stability of a PC

Is there a way to test and grade the stability of any given PC?

Every one SAYS and EXPERIENCES that a 7000$ supermicro's system is much much more stable than a 250$ UNKNOWN's (with maybe fake components) system

But how can it be tested in a laboratory environment.

From my short experience Burnin (Softwares and HW cards) can not.

dbrunton! Thanks!

In "My short experience" I took a some low end PC's and some very highend PC's. Than I run a multi hour burnin test (HW + SW). (I am using UXD and other burnin tools). Believe it or not those cr*p PC's PASS ALL TESTS.

BUT when I install OS + Office + Apps and put it in front of the secretary, the low end crashed twice a day while the high end not even once. (maybe the seretary is the best burnin tool :) )
