Prime95 Worker Inconsistencies

Hello everyone.

I have a weird problem with the Prime95 Small FFTs test. I have been overclocking my FX 6300 for a few weeks, and on almost every test I run, at several different voltages and settings, I get some workers that don't report an error, but move onto test 2 with no report, while others report a Self-Test complete and move on. Here are two screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/hfH2k. Several other benchmarks I run seem to suggest instability in the overclock, but I'm not getting any error messages from Prime95 itself. Eventually the workers that didn't report pass the Self-Test after a second test is completed. When I stop Prime95, the program does report that it passed the same number of tests for each worker, but several workers will be apparently several tests behind.

Any advice? Is this considered a failure? Thanks
 
Solution
I always saw inconsistencies like this as instability. When this would happen to me, I'd get random crashes in other programs. So, I do consider these as failures.
