That one worked. Currently formatting the drive.
Edit: I was able to flash the board w/o a problem. Thanks guys. Hopefully that will fix the 88 post code.

Well, I thought all was well, but it's not. The post 88 code is back for good. I can't boot the damn board. Time to RMA and order another board.

One EVGA 630i no post, code/error 88 Solution
As I have had difficulty finding a solution to this, I am posting to this old thread in hopes of helping someone else.
I am absolutely not a hardware guru, and can offer no further advice, but the following from the EVGA FAQ solved this for me, at least for now:
I pulled the CMOS battery for five minutes, re-seated the CMOS battery, then swapped the position of my RAM sticks - solved for now. This advice does not appear on the EVGA discussion boards as far as I can tell.

Answer / Solution
This is similar to the -- error code on the 680i, but may point more towards RAM issues. Clear the bios manually by removing the battery for 5 – 10 minutes. Cycle the ram in the primary dimm one by one, remount the cpu and remove all peripherals from the system. If the issue persists take the board out of the case and put it on the plastic clamshell and boot it outside of the case to ensure it is not an issue with a grounding or short circuit. If it persists, try a different psu or cpu if possible.

You're in the wrong thread sir. No such fix works in this instance.
