Didn't think that this has anything to do with it though.
I have a hunch that this is the problem. Have you tried 2.6.27 without
the
proprietary ATI drivers? This is the first thing I would suspect
because ATI
drivers are not reputed --- or so I believe --- for being the best
quality
software out there. Either way, we need to eliminate as many factors as
possible and one of these factors is your ATI driver change. I don't know
much about Prime95, but if it won't simulate a subtlety in your video
drivers, especially how proprietary ATI drivers will play with kernel
2.6.27.
I would definitely say this is worth looking into - not necessarily
because the ati-drivers are bad software but because they have always
stressed my hardware more than any open source drivers (and yielded
better performance too).
I have opened a bug for it, but it got closed immediately because I have
no evidence to support it. lol :P
