A #1, are you retarded? You didn't recommend swapping the motherboard. You recommended the exact opposite: stop wasting my time determining which part is bad and just buy a brand new complete system and throw out the broken one.
B #2, I have difficulty believing that you built and serviced PC's for so long. If you did, you were ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- at your job. Starting with swapping the motherboard, based on my computer's symptoms, is even more idiotic than I gave you credit for. It's a $300 motherboard, and while it turned out to not be the case, there is a far greater chance that the $1 battery had gone dead in storage than that the $300 motherboard spontaneously busted. And even if it was more likely that the motherboard was busted, even if there were only a 10% chance that it was the battery . . . it costs $1 and takes two seconds to swap out. The motherboard costs $300 to replace and is a right pain in the ass to swap. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out.
p.s.

Who buys a $300 motherboard? In 2009? What a joke. Did you have a job in 2009 Shmokes? To waste $300 on a motherboard that is dead. Water cooled AM3 was it?
I'm sure he means combo. I quoted $199 in today's money for a bare bones system as an example and he goes off the rails. Classic Shmokes. Mr attention seeker. :laugh2: :laugh2:
