Ran Following Programs to really torture system.

Prime95(Test1)- Ran 1 hour 49 min crashed
Prime95(Test2)- Ran 1 hour 49 min crashed
(Downgraded Prime 95 to non beta version)
Prime95(Test3)-Ran 1 hour 4 min crashed
Prime95(Test3)-Ran 1 hour 4 min crashed

Sandra- 4 Hours No Problem
3D2001SE Demo Loop - 3 hours No Problem
Hot CPU Tester Pro- 2 hours No Problem (Used Option Generate Max Heat)
Played Unreal2 - 2 hours non stop no problem

Now atm testing folding overnight. (See how it goes)

But im wondering is there possibly a problem other than hardware with Prime95? Software or Driver or OS conflict maybe?
Prime keeps seeming to some reason be crashing in same spot.

Just find it kinda odd its passing all other torture tests but not prime. Prime isnt making the system run any hotter than any other test really maybe 1C diff compared to some tests.

Probably because prime stresses your system better than the other programs you are using.

probably... but i test mine like this:
if it crashes while im using it its unstable.
"crashing" includes BSOD's, random programs quiting, and harddrive errors.

but the whole prime overnight thing is probablt a lot better
