Hey, I got this yesterday as well with the updated bios. =o(
I finally recovered it from the dreaded 88 continuous boot, instant off infinite recycle. I just had to vigorously man handle the reset button like for 15 minutes straight until I saw a c1 populate the led. Then I powered off and back on, and it was miraculously covered. I got this 88 error until finally I flashed back to an older bios. I encountered the 88 code a couple of times yesterday. Sometimes it would only take a few, actually several, quick mashes of the reset button to recover to the c1. Good luck, b/c that 88 is the biggest booger ever!
Thanks Gigabyte for the wonderful bios, it definitely incapacitated my Christmas Eve!
