The point of the stability test is to make sure your computer is stable. By stopping it after a minute it really didnt serve it's purpose. And if something does go wrong, then you should fix the problem.

Running it for a minute doesn't show you anything. People run prime95 for hours and days so ensure system stability.

I've actually read of people running it for months at a time.

Just like any test for stuff like that, even things like memtest, the longer the run it the better, this ensures that even if there is the smallest problem the test will catch it and give you the most accurate results.
