That means you have a stability issue with your computer. It's usually memory but could also be attributed to CPU (if overclocked too), software such as the drivers, or even too weak of a power supply. I guess it could also be the board, but that's prolly the least likely reason for instability.

what are your system specs?

 

[imported_whatever]

if it lasted 2 hours, it should be stable enough for almost anything.

 

[acid45]

Athlon 64 3200+
asus k8VSE
1 gig pc 3200 OCZ
350W antec PSU
and a gf ti 4200
nec 2500a
250gig maxtor

maybe my PSU is too small?
but i bought this sytem off here and the guy said that he ran prime 95 for 24hrs without any problems.


:S

 

[BW86]

Is anything overclocked?
You should be able to run prime longer than 2 hours if everything is at the default settings.

EDIT: no the psu isnt to small its fine.

 

[acid45]

nope nothing is overclocked, but i am having issues with the Vcard, and it is cuasing me to freeze and crash.


does prime95 test the vid card?

[acid45]

just grab another videocard just in case and try the prime again.
