Yah, consistently crashing from running the Intel burn test raises flags on the CPU being suspect. Now, as for Prime95, the thing is there's actually a number of different testing procedures that can be used with Prime95, and the one you used probably isn't triggering it. I'm not sure how to alter such on the version that runs outside Windows, but for the Windows version there's Torture Test with Blend, Large FFT and Small FFT options. Blend is best to test CPU-to-RAM crosstalk, and Large FFT is best to test CPU internal caches.
