2.66 Problem HELP!!!

[TypeM]

Can anyone help me with this? I cant get my CPU to complete Prime 95 without erroring out. It ran stable at 3GHz for 8 hours with the stock HSF but now it wont with my new Alpha 8942 and AS3. I even tried using the default timings on EVERYTHING and it still wont work. I am at a loss right now. If you want to read my cronicals, I cross posted in the motherboard forum too:

I would suspect that your heatsink is not seating properly.

i was thinking the same thing....
maybe you used too much thermal paste?
did you tighten it all the way down?

...clean it up and reseat the HSF.
