    Have you changed any hardware since it last worked? I had a generic DVD-ROM drive installed for a while, only to discover that it totally screwed up every Unreal game (UT, UT2k3, U, U2 and all the games using the engine...). I only managed to fix it once i removed the drive, was a very nasty thing to happen...

    SuperPI (or pifast) calculate pi to a varying number of decimal places. If i can't create an exact number then u get an error.
    With prime, numbers are calculated by computer and compared to a set of know values (i think) any errors = pc unstable, same for both :D
