Test the ram with memtestx86.
I'd also do a deep scan on the HD with hdtune.

How long did you run it exactly?
how many full passes were done to be exact?

I mean its literally for testing ram, where as prime is meant to stress the cpu and memory for stable overclocks.
Memory bugs rarely occur early on unless its super unstable hence the 7 passes and even then I've had instances of errors not appearing till the 12 pass mark.
