I'm not testing an overclock, the CPU is running at a cool 55 degrees. I am testing for CPU damage, because of one incident where the CPU fan fell off for a few days last year, and I have a feeling it did permanent damage.

OK, it still means your system is not quite stable. Prime95 should run forever without those errors coming up. CPU, RAM, Northbridge, and power supply can all cause Prime95 failures.

If you can set it to run the "Small FFTs", this helps isolate CPU from RAM/Northbridge problems, since the Small FFTs are designed to run entirely in L2/L3 cache. Failures on small FFTs implicate your CPU; but if small FFTs are stable, and large or blended are not, then the next thing to do is test RAM.

Are there any other tests I can do to narrow it down? Should I call Intel and ask them to repair the CPU? It's a Core2Duo and still under warranty.

See my edit above. Try the "Small FFT" setting next; let it run 8 hours or more. If this fails, then it condemns your CPU; if not, your CPU is fine.

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. :brokencomputer:
