well.. looks like i might of finally fried my sandy bridge lol... i was running IBT to test stability had it OC'd to 4.8ghz @ 1.45V and it blue screened and now i cant get it to post anymore.. debug code stops at 32 and in the manual says it's a "PEI cpu initialization error."..which too me sounds like the cpu went to heaven. I don't know.. maybe somebody here knows of a fix or something?.. I've already stripped her down bare bones.. and did all the normal troubleshooting crap. my board is a GB z77x-ud4h so it does have the dual bios feature but it gives me the same debug readout no matter what bios i select.. i've reset cmos various times (on both bios). everything's been unplugged/uninstalled from the board cept bare min stuff that it needs to boot but.. no change.. i even reseated the cpu and checked it visually and it's physically fine.. but that doesn't meen anything so.. did i kill it? should i just order a second hand ivy from ebay or somewhere and be done with it? or what? thanks for the help!
Is it dead?
