That error means that Prime95 detected an error while it was running. Generally Prime95 errors are caused by either CPU or Memory, so try clocking one or both back a bit. If the error's popping up rather quickly (like usually less than an hour), your system isn't anywhere near stable. Guys usually like to be able to run Prime for a day without error before calling it stable (there are exeptions to this, as some people can't even get Prime to run @ stock without errors, so don't think of Pri me as the be all and end all of stability :))
