Problem when using arduino nano as isp and atmega328p-pu

Question

I am using an Arduino Nano as an ISP programmer. And I want to program my Atmega328p-pu with it. I followed this tutorial: Using Arduino nano as an isp programmer

But I want to use internal 8MHz clock. So I remove the crystal and caps. (In the picture shown below )

When I use avrdude to program my chip there is a problem:

device signature = 0x000000 or 0xffffff

Sometimes it responds a wrong signature like 0x0000ff. Can someone help me solve this problem?

Apart from removing caps you should also be changing the fuses for selecting the internal clock source and disabling the clock/8 fuse

Try to select a lower baud rate in avrdude, That might help as well
