Hardly ;-). It's become unstable since I tested those asm blit fixes.
I can still play Serious Sam for six hours straight (yeah I know, I'll
get a life), but if I reboot and leave the computer for five minutes, it
might have frozen when I return (happened yesterday). Do you
think the asm blit bug could have permanently damaged my
system?

Nothing works. I disabled automatically rebooting, and this is the
message on the "Blue Screen of Death":
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xD24D37B8, 0x00000001, 0xED4D3833,
0x00000000)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Does this make any sense?
Anyway, remember I told you the first asm blit fix freezed my
system first time I ran it? Well, testing the things above my system
froze three times right after typing program name at command
prompt (ie. before Allegro sets graphics mode). Restarting and
retyping, and it works (apart from the task switching that is). Could
there be a bug in Allegro init code or is my system FUBAR?
