i did, but it is supposed to kick in by its self when needed, you cant just turn it on and its not always there, is there a stress test app for ubuntu that you know of?

You can run apps like normal in the LiveCD it just uses a RAM disk instead of a regular drive storage. You could install and use cpuburn if you wish.

andy@D420:~$ apt-cache policy cpuburn
cpuburn:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.4-39
  Version table:
     1.4-39 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
andy@D420:~$ apt-cache search cpuburn
cpuburn - a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU

Should do it
