My computer has been acting a little flaky lately, I'm wondering if someone could help me figure out why.

When I run the Prime95 torture test on "Blend mode", I get errors within 1-10 minutes. If I run it on "Small FFT" mode, it can run all night without any errors.

I've used Memtest86 on my memory for an hour, doesn't show any errors. Could it be a motherboard problem, and is there anyway to test this?
