Failing stress testing at stock settings usually indicates a hardware problem, the most common being overheating. Second on the list is ram errors, suggest you run memtest (from a cd, not from within windows) and look for things highlighted in red. If there are any such errors it's pretty likely you have bad ram, and should test the sticks individually.
Failing prime but passing memtest would be interesting, we'll cross that bridge if we come to it

okily dokily, ran memtest as suggested, and unsurprisingly it threw up errors. went in to bios and changed memory settings to auto, i had to originally select X.M.P (xtreme memory proflie i think) to get the ram to run at its full speed (1600mhz) on auto ito nly runs 1066. anyhoooo now that its back to aut,o prime95 and memtest run fine with no failures/errors. is there anyway to get the ram to run at its full speed without casuing the original problems?
