    Last night after my last post Prime95 ran no problem for > 5 minutes.

    This morning with the EXACT same settings it will not run!
    Not even for a second.

    This is with a very mild FSB of 371 and default voltage settings on the Proc.
    I installed no software and did not even enter the bios.
    All settings are exactly as they were last night.

    EDIT:

    Now ten minutes after posting this Prime is running no problem.
    So what is it lads?
    Degradation?That just seems too far fetched to me.
    Possible heat issue?Seems more likely at this point.
    Software issue?Top of my list.
