Damn

Tried to bench at 4500mhz, got into windows and then it shut off on me.

It then got into a start, reset, start, reset loop showing post code 88. I tried to clear cmos by jumper, didn't work.. Ended in same loop

I removed battery, now it starts and is stuck on a c1 error. Troed each stick of ram. Still c1 error.

Cpu voltage was 1.55v. I burned last e8500 at 1.65v. These early ones are so sensitive it's not even funny

Anything else i can try other then removing battery again or do u think cpu is dead?

Sorry for spelling, typing from phone
