If you suspect it has been damaged, you should try to get a replacement. Considering what has been happening with them, I would suspect damage if there were stability issues in Prime95.
If you do get a replacement, don't use it until the microcode has been updated in your BIOS.

I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.
