Application go boom

I start the app, give it the keyboard and motherboard info. The the system just barks and doesn't accept anything. First, no motherboard is listed that I have. Then whenever the command stress is loaded, I just get a list of parameters to enter. After that, the same thing. Plus when I had it run once, it give one passing.

I thought this was a burn-in program of sort. I am agrivated and short one less disk.

The suggested parameters are ok, I usually run this command when booting from CD:
stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M

or this when mounting the CD image at <IMG-PATH>:
<IMG-PATH>/usr/bin/stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M --hdd 100 --hdd-bytes 1M

You may run lm_sensors and hddtemp to monitor how the stress test is going.

I think there must be problem in your mother board. You need to consult the hardware engineer.
