I have never before encountered this problem: after installing August 2003? (the latest) drivers on a new system (that Barton XP2800 I referred to earlier), running Fritz 8 at the maximum allowable setting (1228MB RAM of 1.5GB) during infinite analysis, the video display freezes after variously 10 to 100 hours. I've noticed that so far, abstaining from the powersaver and/or screen-saver programs (using XP PRO OS) prevents freezing... Funny thing happens during a freeze sometimes: the small clock on the engine/evaluation panel will go nuts, i.e. 60x to 600x faster... also, vertical alternating stripes of gold and black are typically seen during the freeze. I've had other systems where Fritz 8 runs without this problem. Anyone else experience this, and is the lowering of the ram setting slightly a useful or logical suggestion? I recall the driver is v.45.23, I use Samsung RAM, and an NEC monitor... Thanks in advance for any feedback.
