Hi Eran
Well obvious problems would be possible processor over heating. Have you
disabled screen savers, hard drive shutdown and power saving features?

I must admit I haven’t used the analyse feature on Fritz 8 or Shredder 9 over
night myself. So I am not sure how stable they are. I used to have this problem
with Fritz 4 but that was a long time ago.

You could try running some other application over night to eliminate PC
problems. If they run ok then it might be down to the chess programs and your pc
config. Others on the forum may be able to advise you on this.

Best regards

Clive
