Is there a way to monitor CPU temperature in safe mode?
- - - Updated - - -
So I have let prime95 run in safe mode for 2 hours with no problems. It is now running in normal mode and as it has been a longer than average period before a crash its been running for 30 minutes. Temperatures all look good, the highest being 57 C on one core and no errors from prime95.

So that went on for 42 minutes, here is the V2 report from that crash if its needed
There isn't a great deal of consensus on how long you need to run Prime95 for. It really depends on why you're running it, so just to prove a system is stable a couple of hours is good enough, to check that an overclock is stable around 6 hours is generally advised, but nobody has any recommendations on how long to run it to troubleshoot a potentially flaky CPU.
The dumps from 31st July are all divide by zero errors in kernel functions, just as before, so I still believe that we should be focussing on the CPU. Minidumps don't contain all data areas however, so can you please upload the kernel dump in the file C:\Windows\Memory.dmp? That might contain more clues.
I suggest you now run each Prime95 test for a minimum of 6 hours, longer if you can. The longer you can run each test the better your chances of catching a flaky processor. Troubleshooting is boring sometimes....
Ok thanks, IŽll try to run through the prime95 tests for 6 hours each then.
Here is the full memory dump
