How come no one uses PC Mark?

Why doesnt anybody use PCMark to check the stability of the system? I would think that since it is intended to check the performance of the CPU, it would be more fitting than just 3dMark. If I run PCMark and my processor is set too high, it crashes... Just curious.

Thanks

PCMark does not stress the GPU, which is a good use of 3DMark. Prime95 will usually catch instability before PCMark will as well. But PCMark should work quite well in ensuring stability nonetheless.
