Fundamental Problems in Mathematics that, without Computer Sciences, would not be resolved  ?

Could you please give examples of FUNDAMENTALfundamental questions in mathematics (let us say, pure mathematics) which were resolved FUNDAMENTALLYfundamentally by the use of Computers computers? More precisely, are there such examples that you can compare to those : GAUSSthe accomplishments that Gauss, RAMANUJANRamanujan, RIEMANNRiemann, GROTHENDIECKGrothendieck, DELIGNEDeligne, WILESWiles, PERELMAN Perelman, ..etc. , obtained  ? Let Let me make precise that my question do NOTdoes not mean that I do not believe in Computers (asadvocate the use computers as a powerfullpowerful tool!).
