Cheers I'll try that tonite - I'll keep running f@h though - it always seems to fail in the first few % and only one every 10 runs or so..... More details on Prime95 here: http://www.mersenne.org/ At the end of the day it comes down to your definition of a stable system and what you're happy with. Some CPUs can run Prime95 for 24+ hours before getting an error - whether that system is stable or not is a matter of opinion. By then you're probably beyond point where the manufacturer would bin the chip as faulty if it was new - or it may be that with another tool the problem would manifest itself sooner. All I would say is that if you keep getting errors from F@H and don't find a fix, then it wouldn't be ethical or useful to keep running it on that machine. Best wishes Dan
