The P5B isn't really made for 45nm Quads (yes I know it supports them but still). Probably because you left voltages at "auto" something overvolted by a lot and that would explain why a core died. It's very, very rare that a CPU dies though.
With the P5B, keep FSB Termination around 1.3v, and NB voltage around 1.45v.
