Sorry, but Fritz 8 is not that buggy.  You most likely have a hardware issue and
best my guess it is most likely memory related.  The memory is failing under the
stress of a chess program that will tax any system at 180/seconds per move.  You
system seems to be failing the "test".

I don't have an easy solution short of testing with different ram memory or a
different computer.  I'm assuming you are not over clocking.

Good luck.
