Is there a special setting I have to check when using Prime so that it'll show errors and stop Priming if it does encounter an error?

Nope, if it errors it says it errored and quits...

Actually, I was told under Options to specifically set "Round-Off checking" or else some errors may be missed.

That's nice to know, how come nobody ever told me *makes note to rePrime rig*

This is a good question... my system is failed after 18 h 21 m ... is it stable? I dunno! The FAQ that comes with p95 says:

Q) How long should I run the torture test?

A) I recommend running it for somewhere between 6 and 24 hours.
The program has been known to fail only after several hours and in
some cases several weeks of operation. In most cases though, it will
fail within a few minutes on a flaky machine.

Look at it this way...How often are you running programs that stress your system like Prime for 21 hours straight, or for even 6 hours for that matter.

For most users, I would consider 2 hours of error free Prime to be stable, but hey, thats just my opinion. For power users, more would be needed.
