It can be lots of stuff, it might be:
1) A bad CPU. If you can try lowering the overclock a bit and see if things get better.
2) Overheating. This is more likely if the problem only occurs after prime95 has run for a while and the temps are more than 60C. Check your temps using one of the freely available programs.
3) Need more volts on memory or processor or ldt voltage
0 memory - look for a 3/4 memory setting in BIOS.

Sounds like a memory issue to me. I dont know a ton about specific Prime95 errors, however it sounds like an expected result was due but the retrieved value was different. In general this means it went to the correct memory location and got the wrong result returned or it went to the wrong memory location.
Those numbers look like memory addresses/data to me.
I could be way off of course, like I said...dont know much about how Prime95 does what it does.

ripken, can you post your bios settings? It might be just an issue with that.
