It means there is an instability in your system.
Most likely down to cpu or memory, but not necessarily.

Normally in this situation I would try lowering your memory speed and see if that improves things. If not, try increasing your cpu voltage a bit or reducing clockspeed.

By the looks of it you were able to run for a good 40mins+ with no errors, so I suspect a modest adjustment could resolve it. Serious issues normally result in prime falling over within 20mins or so.

o right cool cheers for that i have not oc my system so find it strange it might be unstable i have 3 gb of mem installed they are all are 1gb corsair sticks but 1 of the sticks default lac is different to the other 2, its default timings are 4-4-4-12 and the other 2 at default are 5-5-5-15, that might have something to do with it i dobt no, everything in the bios is auto, getting my new kingston 4gb of ram on mon so i will test again once i have installed that

thanks again
