You don't really need to do 'burn ins'. Just using your PC will prove if the hardware is stable. But if you must test your graphics card, consider running a game.

I'm with ryan124712. I haven't done a burn in in a whole lot of years. For my own boxes, just using them is my burn in, and my burn ins for builds is building them. Running thru the install process, driver install, program installs, defrags, backups, etc., show that it works sufficiently to ship it.
