Coincidence or not, my 9850 died after completed all benchs in SiSoftware Sandra XII 2008 SP2 (14.20a), then I restarted the system to set 12*250 for 3000, in witch I was but at 15x200, to compare, never booted again, [C1] error.

1st i tough was the bios, since it was the last thing I did, EZ-clear CMOS, jumper clear, and then hot-flashed, no way C1 all the time, Voltage was: for CPU-VID=+105.14 and for NB=+103.7, I could not figured out what happened.

As soon I put the Phenom 9500 in, system booted fine. 9850 back again C1 error, the poor thing had the last moments of joy running Sandra.

ATM I'm playing with my hybrid DFI-Expert/Venus nForce 2200 Pro + Opteron 170, so I haven't test the new bios, don't know how long it will take to have an 9850 again...
