What are your temps like when running prime95? (And what is your cooler?)

Also, what are your memory settings/frequency. I would keep the memory frequency as close to 800 or below while trying to get your clock stable. If you're running it over 800 while experimenting - this is very likely to be your problem.

Have you tried using the 12.5 core ratio and a reduced frequency for the same clock value - i.e. 12.5 x 270?
