Prime95, weird results

Overclocked a QX6800 on a new Biostar (TPower 145) motherboard from 2.93GHz to 3.51GHz (270 x 13); LinX does a 50-run test with no error, temps on the first two cores just barely hit 72C.

I decided to run Prime95 overnight last night just as a final test to see whether or not it really is stable, and I wake up the next morning to find my computer still running, but my keyboard/mouse not getting any power (or at least it seems, none of the x-lock keys light up the LEDs, my mouse's laser doesn't turn on when I nudge it). I hard-reboot the computer, everything starts fine, no issues, but I can't necessarily see if anything broke during the stress test.

"results.txt" in the p64v259 folder reads as such:
Code:

Self-test 1024K passed!

That's the entire file-- I don't know what to look for, or if this is where I should be looking, but to me it seems sort of odd that the last test section only has three lines. Any... ideas?

specs:
700W Thermaltake Toughpower PSU,
Biostar TPower 145,
Intel QX6800,
4GB of G.Skill DDR2-1066 (overclocked to 1080MHz with the FSB increase),
Sapphire HD4890.
 
that missing 4th test is probably right where your system locked up..

depending on if you have your sleep mode and power saving stuff on.. that could of caused it to crash..
 
It lasted 31 mins 7 seconds before crashing.
