I did get a bluescreen, shortly after sending this message in fact. I'm hoping it was just bad luck, but there were also two suminputa!=sumoutputs errors before that. The good news is none of the primes were shown composite. I discovered, however, that the plastic "hood" over the CPU came loose, which I'm hoping was part of the problem. Also, those exponents in the hundreds of thousands of bits, being *tiny*, probably sat mostly in the L2 cache, which *may* mean that I don't have a real heat problem. I'm now trial-factoring M1257787, hopefully the machine will be running when I get back, which would *really* be a good sign.
