Looks like your PC is having some problems. Overheated, dust,
broken RAM who can tell. Here is a system to test your PC.

Download the following EPD file:

www.rebel.nl/rg4.epd

Run Rebel Century using "analyze EPD" (menu EXTRA)

When finished the NPS counter for every position (see the logfile
"rg4.txt") should always be 100% the same. If there are differences
(no matter how small) consider your PC as (very) suspect if not
broken.

The system is simple: "rg4.epd" is nothing more than 500 x running
the same position (on 10 ply) over and over. You can cancel the
process any time (hitting ESC) and then check the created logfile
"rg4.txt".
