using prime?

[ETUKE]

I have the chance to buy a used mobo for a second system A7V8X-X.The guy whos selling it said he isnt sure if the mobo is 100%,he had alot of BSOD'S and figgured he just build a new system.Heres my problem,I have the board running and installed win xp with no problems what so ever,It has never gave me a BSOD since i got it,but if I run prime 95 I can barely get 1 minute in before it locks solid.At first it would lock just as I pushed the run torture test button.Theres never an error just a lockup,Im running an older 1700 palli with 256 mb ddr and an older HDD 6.4 gig.should I just give this board back and not buy it?

Try different RAM, have another CPU that use can test with?

this is what newegg gets other online stores are about the same price and if its new it wont be a question if it has been abused.
