I am getting the same thing with my EP45 UD3R + Q9400. In fact it has never failed prime in any other way besides a freeze. I needed to turn off the screen saver and leave prime maximized so i can at least see how long it runs. I am turning the monitors brightness down to the min. to lessen the effect of having it on so much. Its hard to imagine there isn't some tweaking that will let prime fail without a crash. We should share info so we can achieve the goal of having prime fail better

I currently have a very small overclock going and am playing with the ref voltage percentages for MCH and Cpu trying to find a sweet spot so i can ramp up the clocks faster.
