so i just ran into a similar problem and found a solution so figure ill post my fix to help anyone in the future with this problem. turns out i was using 4meg leave in clears but had the jumper above them set at 2 meg. it worked fine for a bit but then would kick up 88ff even though my battery measured 3.1 at the ram chips. my best guess is because it thought it was a 2meg chip it would look for a part of the program it needed bit instead start a clear but after changing the jumper to 4meg like the chip its been working 100% hope this helps.
