loading prog was prime95 with 4 worker threads. ill try reseating the heatsink today. btw, can someone tell me which quadrants on the cpu (given that the edge with the triangle is on the bottom right) roughly correspond to which core? or are they not laid out like that?

There's two dual cores in there. Look towards the bottom middle of the link for a pic of what's underneath the heat spreader.

When I prime with my q6600 (whatever test) It just restarts out of nowhere but completely stable under SuperPI, OCCT, and Everest Stability.A lot of users have been reporting this problem but I can prime at 400 fsb but anything over 420, it just restarts.

I haven't tried running 2 instances of Orthos though. It doesn't seem to happen with C2D users though

No, it's not that. If Prime hangs, and closes, than your PC is unstable. The prime95 bug will show in task manager: the CPU utilization is not 100%, rather 70% what ever you do

So launch prime95, and check CPU usage for the Prime95.exe process in task manager (not the graph which would show a wrong 100%). If the Prime95 process is too far than 100%, that's the Prime95 bug mentioned by GAR and confirmed by many

It appeared on 3.6GHz if I remember and especially above 1.5 or 1.55 vcore if I remember
