Default Need help

Im having a problem with this cpu I built last year. Ocassionally I get a bluescreen error when I use it normally. But when I try and run a labor Intensive program or video game it crashes and gives me a blue-screen error. When I run prime95 it gives me these results

[Wed Sep 02 21:54:09 2009]
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4956054688, expected less than 0.4

Only thing I can think of is reformat my drive and see if that solves it. Heres a little information about my system

I find it extremely unlikely that that will fix the problem. I wouldn't recommend you do that.

Have you overclocked the CPU and/or memory? If so, try dropping them back to stock speed and see if you still fail the stress test.
What sort of CPU temperatures are you getting while idle and while under stress? You can use SpeedFan to check. http://www.heatsink-guide.com/conten...=maxtemp.shtml says 65 C (149 F) is the max operating temp for a CPU like yours.

If you're running at stock speed with low temperatures and still failing, you might just have a defective CPU.
