i do play 40 / 127 and 20 / 67 ON the chessbase master machine.

this way even SLOW answering programs like rebel cannot lose on time.
ok - fritz has a few minutes more time... but this is no problem for me,
and for rebel :-))

the crashes: WHEN do they occur ?

after a few minutes ?

than it could be a heat problem. (fritz and junior - not hiarcs, not
shredder,... do make many NPS and do "exploit" the CPU very much. It gets hotter
than e.g. running shredder. If your CPU is running near to the edge, the few
more degree heating will crash it. You can find out by NOT starting the
autoplayer and starting analyse-mode. it is crashing in the same amount of
time... its a heatng problem. the only senseful way is IMO a new [bigger or
smarter] cpu-cooler.)


is it at the end of games, when chessbase GUI saves games and wants to begin
another one but crashes ?

i have seen such behaviour too.
but have no clue what the reason could be.
