If Prime95 is crashing your system, you probably have either an unstable overclock or unstable RAM settings. Running a tool like Memtest or the built-in memory checker in the Windows 7DVD will confirm this.
If so, make sure the RAM voltages are set to exact specifications, along with the frequency and the timings. Even then, 16GB sounds like you have all four memory slots populated... when all the slots are populated users will often need to loosen the RAM timings to keep the system stable. In your case I'd suggest 9-9-9-27 2T timings and see if that works.
