I just ran prime95 because i have been experiencing bsod and have tried just about everything, thought id give this a shot.
Anyway,
First time i run it 4 workers failed pretty much straight away (maybe 5 minutes in?)

Second time i run it 2 workers failed after 30 minutes

bringing back this error..

what should i do? what could be wrong
 
Monitor temps and voltages with HWMonitor Pro or AIDA64 while running Prime95, could be an overheating issue or a failing PSU, also which kind of test are you running? if you use the blend or Large FFT it could be a RAM issue, try with the small FFT option instead.

Its my first time running prime95 I selected the blend test.
I had a feeling my psu was failing, I was watching the power on hwmonitor and it was jumping from 50w down to 30w then back up to 50w and all over the place to be honest, I have a new PSU coming tomorrow anyway because the PSU i currently have is awful, Its a 550w coolermaster gx series.
I run memtest for 8 hours with no problem before i run prime95

EDIT: I did monitor the temps and at full load it was 50c

UPDATE: I run prime95 on small fft for 8 hours with no problems at all!
As soon as i try to run blend test it fails either 2, 3 or 4 workers
