A customer brougth a computer in the shop today for lockup programs, I worked on and updated some driver files..

It was locking up at random, not getting hot...

It seems to be running good now, so to be sure, I decided to run Seti on it over night...It is a p2-350. I figure it will get one done, since I didn't have a spare phone line to hock to it, I figure I will turn in the result in the morning if it don't lock up...

If it doesn't lock up I will call her and tell her to com e get it after I remove seti....

I did it to make sure it will run about 20 hours without locking up with the cpu maxed..

So is it wrong to run seti on a customers computer overnight to make sure it doesn't lock up....?
espeically if it is a real fast computer....

However I have no desire to set the 286 up to run seti, I bet it would take 3 months or more...It would kill my already bad average, plus think of how much eletric it would take to do one unit...
