In my room NO computer passes prime 95, i recently moved house, and machines that used run p95 torture stable for days sometimes craps out in 5-6hrs sometimes 12hours. I've tested the house insulation and whatnot and it is more than acceptable, voltages are stable, never dipping below 1.65v *xp2700@ default, so far i;ve been through 3 motherboards and memory configs all to the same error, tried different psus from 300-550w all enermax/antec. Most of the time its a rounding error such as 4.999 instead of below 4 or something. Its very sporadic, most i've run it for is 13 hours without fail, cooling is excelllent, 52C max with an SLK-800.
[edit] 5v never below 4.89v and 3.3 usualy at 3.3 or 3.29v

By the way, what does BTW stand for?
It is better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6.
If not then that is pretty weird. Maybe that new house has a polterguist. Or maybe something worse, hmmm I'd be looking to see if I could borrow a geiger-counter.
overclocked or not it happens, i doubt 5 mobos and about 7 sticks of DDR are bad , thing is the cpu is 100% rock stable and it never crashes early, always after a few hours, and no set pattern, makes be believe the electricity in my house must be nasty, wonder if an AC line conditioner or UPS will fix that?

I'd have a word with an electrician if I were you!

Ok, am 99.9% sure of it now, as i set it this morning at about 5am and it failed about the EXACT same time as it failed last time, only i set it at 2-3AM last time, so its not the same amount of hours it took to fail, thus not a set fail pattern amount of timewise, ran over 11hrs 54min this time, last time was about 13hrs. So i've come to the conclusion my power is dodgy from about 5:30PM to early morning at about 2AM, gonna investigate a bit into the local substation inner workings, but i figure its not my computer so i'll just leave that be.
