In my case it crashes in 50% situations when I switch from external AC to
battery power on notebooks. I have already reported that bug to George
Woltman.

Subject: RE: [Prime] Prime95 'hung up'

Are you still running Windows 95 or something? Uptime on my workstation
is currently 37 days 22 hours 34 minutes... I haven't rebooted sine I
last installed a Windows patch. Windows XP is remarkably stable if you
have reliable hardware and don't download and install every little
doodad you see on the Net.

That said, Prime95 seems to hang for me, too, about once every two
months on average. I have it running on a bunch of machines, including
Windows XP, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2003 Servers. I simply
scheduled a batch file on each machine to stop the Prime 95 service and
restart it periodically. It is annoying to have to do resort to such a
trick, and I think there is certainly a bug in Prime95 causing it. But
the intervals between hangs seem totally random, and I haven't been able
to figure out any other common factors. It happens on so many different
machines I feel it has to be the Prime95 software, and not a hardware or
OS issue.
