Has anyone heard of any cases of SereneScreen precipitating RAM failure? Last night my computer started beeping, and apparently the memory failed. I was running SS at the time and the computer (a week-old Dell Dimension 8200) may have been trying to hibernate, where it writes the contents of the RAM to the hard drive and shuts down.

The memory may have just been going to fail anyway and what happened was completely unrelated to the screensaver. But, Dell users may not want to enable hibernation when using SereneScreen!
