Make sure, you have not overclocked your computer. Chess engines are good, to
trigger problems in case of overclocking. One computer I owned, did
unfortunately crash with longer engine matches or analysis. About once a week or
so. It was a K6-2 500 MHZ. I set it up to only use 466 MHz ("under-clocking"),
and it never crashed again. That computer even worked well with overclocking to
533 MHZ (IIRC). But then, not for a week, but only for a day.
