I'll go logically ck the RAM, CPU & cooling and see where I end up. :) (back at Fry's LOL )
Oh well.... However, an observation... It looks like Prime95 has been moving forward in spite of the errors... and since i had only been spot checking this PC (based on postings to primenet) I did not see the error until i had opened the display and then reviewed the log file. Would this have continued until it was done and then return a failure? Should it not halt operation in a situation like this??
thanks, Michael..

After looking at the results log file i found that the error started back in April. After that it keeps "Continuing from last save file" and moving up on the iteration and reports the same type of error over and over.
That's not good.
Iteration: 12766464/23666821, ERROR: ROUND OFF (0.4997425079) > 0.40 Continuing from last save file.
So does this imply that back on Apr 17 my CPU started to have problems (AMD Athalon) and if so why does the prime continue to do work when the results are in error?
Any error that prime95 detects will not corrupt your result. However, prime95
can miss detecting a hardware error and then your final result will be bad.
If you've had more than a 5 errors there is a good chance that one was missed.
SO if I replace the CPU do i need to start this over from start or can I tell it to kick off from the first error?
It may not be the CPU. It could be overheating, in which case cleaning the fans and heatsink and checking the air flow may solve your problem. Or it could be bad memory or a weak power supply. Diagnosing the true problem is not easy.
If you have backups of the save files from early April, I'd restart from there.
Sorry for the bad news, Geroge
