I'm working a lot, getting few solid results. My computer likes to hard boot and crash if I do optimizations. I ran every memory checker I could find *EVEN THE VISTA INSTALL CHECKER* and more trusted things like Ubuntu's memory checker at boot time. No memory issues. Suspect processor or motherboard issues :/ Might be remotely related to ambient heat, but installing several extra fans and getting chills standing near my computer still results in crashes.
Thankfully you can stop/resume backtesting on an exhaustive search (not Genetic Algo) optimization. Unfortunately, this isn't preserved when my system crashes. 
I'm writing some indicators and writing several more EA. Mostly I've been working on writing my own trading platform (instead of MT4, but also integrating with MT4 for MT4 brokers).

Mate,
Did you check your hard drive? I experienced the same problem, when the hard drive's buffer area are spoilt, and that canot be detect. When running usual stuff its ok. But if we run backtest, the entire system will slow down, even worst then my 1986's 8088 AT system. After replacing a new hard drive, everything seems to be fine. Take note that if either 1 of the hard drive having the buffer problem, it will affect the entire computer system. Therefor, the buffer damanged hard drive is now a external hard drive for me to back up my porno movie only. It needs computer restart after distached the drive from the USB too... hope this help
Regards
