prime95 is that sign of instabilty?
 

been testing with prime, but I notice 1 of the cores stayed at 1024k test #3 for like 10 min while other cores finish the test in 2 min. then all cores moved to 8k at same time but the core #3 only did the 1024k 3 tests while other cores did 10 tests.

that's with prime 25.9/ i7 920 @ 4ghz, blend custom set ram to 5200MB
