What are your temps and what voltage are you running at? Prime95 really puts the hurt on a CPU in terms of finding its week point. Does it start to run the test and then fail because blah blah blah?

If your temps are low enough, you could trying bumping up the vcore a little bit and see if that clears up the issue, but if not, you'll need to get urself a better cooler.

Hope this helps.

Duh... didn't see the bottom of the sig till i already posted, it looks like you've got an SK6 so you should be okay. Try bumping up the v-core to +.1 on your 8K7A jumpers.

I had the same problem with Prime 95 and hardware errors.

According the the stress.txt file the reason I got them is because my system is not stable enough.

I have run 100's of Sandra benchmarks and 3dMark2001 tests and my computer has never crashed on those.

My computer is plenty stable for me, so I just decided to uninstall Prime 95:)

Not sure what my voltage is my my cpu is 37C 98F Ill have to go back and look at my stress test. It says hardware failure i think. It start to run and then quits. I can run sandra and 3dmark 2001....cpuidle....
