This is probably an interaction with some new piece of software.
I know that the OS should protect you from such interactions, but
this problem is quite common.
Have you installed any new device drivers lately - especially those
that might use MMX (audio and midi cards)? Are you running any new
programs?
The good news is that these errors do not seem to affect prime95's
accuracy (unlike other error messages). A recent double-check had
3 SUMOUT errors, but the residues matched anyway.
Hope that helps,
George
