Prime95 blended test failure

I'll try to hit my specs from memory:
Abit N7F
Barton 2500+ retail, thermaltake silent boost
2x512 Mushkin Black matched Level 2 in dual channel
Radeon 9700pro
Enermax whisper 365
W2k

I have my system oc'd to to the standard 11x200, 6/6 with memory to "aggressive". I am getting rounding errors in about 15 seconds on the Prime95 3rd test - blended test. I can run tests 1 & 2 fine. (I don't have any other stability problems - I can play MOHAA spearhead multiplayer for hours without a hiccup)

If I un-overclock the test runs fine.

This probably isn't a big deal, but I wouldn't consider it a stable system with the failure.

Any ideas or fixes ? Any voltages to up? which ones and how much?

Thanks in advance.

Well the one main difference is the blended test, test more of the ram and harder on the ram then the other 2...My guess is raise the vdimm voltage, or lower the aggressive timings...You have the ram clocked too high or too aggressive. However a vdim boost could help this if you haven't alreay given it a boost....

What is the Muskin rated for??? Pc3200??

oops, sorry.... yep PC3200. The RAM setting has been on "optimal" while I was running the prime95 test (which "optimal" is basically stock). I haven't messed with the ram timings at all. The "aggressive" is a preset bios option, as well as "optimal" or "user". Optimal is the easiest, aggressive is more (but, according to the bios, the same timings as optimal, at least for my RAM. and then obviously "user" can specify what ever for each timing setting.
