Prime 95 errors

[mcwargod]

okay i got a blue screen today when i was on my desktop for no reason wasnt doing anything special.
i restarted the computer and ran prime 95 and i would get a error "fatal error: rounding was .5, expected less than .4. Hardware failure dectected, consult stress.txt.file." so i thought it was the ram so i swapped out my ram from my other computer which i know runs fine and works and i tried running it again and i get the error

"fatal error: resulting sum was 1.183853191642209e+016, expected: 1.183853188286751e+016Hardware failure dectected, consult stress.txt.file.
yea i know it was that long ^ could it be my cpu thats failing?? advice please
this computer is around 2 years old btw

Did you overclock your desktop or just run at stock speeds? What has your usage been like? 24/7 operation, or 4-5 hrs/day? If you are able to, check what voltages are getting to your CPU and RAM. Also, check the capacitors on your board. Since your comp is 2 years old, you may still have some electrolyte based capacitors instead of the longer lasting polymer ones. If any are bulging or blown, You'll have to replace the board.
