Quick Sort test uses QuickSort algorithm to check the system. It is a basic yet intensive algorithm. It involves a lot of data movement in memory and comparisons and thus, if it fails it can be from any major components in the system such as problems with CPU, memory, chipset or other components on motherboard can cause it. Usually it is the first test that would fail, if system is unstable. To narrow down the problem, you can disable this test, and run the test again to see what other tests would fail.
