Prime 95 was run for about 17-19 hrs and I stopped the operation; it reported no errors and that Prime95 had run 25153 hrs 19 min etc. So did I run 25153 simulated Prime95 cpu hrs???I read to let it run 24 real time hrs.

Very strange. Its either a fairly harmless program bug or your system clock was set during the run. The Windows clock program will update automatically the system date and time from an atomic clock server. Any chance you didn't set the date and time when you built the system?

Hmmmm....I have been overclocking, reinstalling windows, and frying cpus....so lots of room for errors. But the clock is always accurate. May have I am running semi-stable now and have to wait until I get my new hard drive back from newegg, then I will reinstall everything. I am using an ata33 maxtor drive and I formated in win2000 on another system which is a no no, slow slow slow...the dark ages and it sounds like a squirrel is in the case. Thanks for your reply
