It's really up to you. If there is a Prime95 error there is definitely something wrong. If the system is still stable enough for you then don't worry about it (but future problems/crashing could happen). Since Prime95 hits the memory a little bit be sure to check your ram with memtest86 @ www.memtest86.com Generally non-overclocked (and cpus that aren't overheating) computers that have prime95 errors usually end up having bad ram. Sometimes its a motherboard problem (chipset may be getting too hot, failing, or similar fun stuff).
