Prime95 - confused

[Deleted member 2277]

I've used Prime95 for many years to test the stability of overclocked processors. I have always left it running for 24 hours and if the icon is green then the overclock is good. Today I noticed that the the icon was green but there was fatal errors listed, I thought that if a fatal error is encountered then the icon turns red, so I'm very confused. Is a green icon a successful overclock or not?

Fatal errors in a succesful overclock?

I though red meant it has stopped (all/some of the workers had stopped working).. Either due to an unstable overclock or user intervention..

Surely a fatal error should stop the affected worker? I've never noticed this before but I downloaded a newer version of prime a few days ago. I'll try the older version and see if it does the same thing. Running furmark at the same time is probably too much for it lol.
